I am 27 years old and I’ve started to lose my hair. I’ve heard that improving my diet could stop any more hair falling out, but I don’t really know where to start. Is it true that eating badly causes hair loss?

Hair loss has a variety of different causes, from nutritional deficiencies, stress and illness to genetic predisposition. If you have started losing your hair, you should see a specialist as soon as possible to rule out serious illness, diagnose the underlying reason for your condition, and discuss a suitable course of treatment.

Improving your diet may help to boost the condition and vitality of your hair, although it is not likely to reverse any progressive hair loss condition without specialist treatment. Eating well can nourish the roots of the hair, encouraging healthy growth. Zinc, which is found in high protein foods such as meat, fish and eggs, boosts thyroid function, which is beneficial for brittle or thinning hair. Selenium, found in Brazil nuts, and biotin, found in soy, wholegrains and legumes, are also supportive to your hair’s health. If your diet is lacking in fresh vegetables, unrefined grains and healthy protein, you may wish to take a good quality multivitamin-multimineral complex to rule out any nutritional deficiencies. Thinning hair may indicate that your digestive system is not absorbing nutrients effectively, and taking probiotics can support digestive function.

A common cause of hair loss, especially in women, is anemia. Anemia is caused by a deficiency of iron levels in the body, so it is important to increase iron intake by taking a supplement or eating iron rich foods. You can find further information on avoiding anemia here.

The most common cause of hair loss is androgenic alopecia, or genetic hair loss, which can affect both men and women. This is characterised by thinning on top of the head, and results from the action of DHT, a hormonal derivative of testosterone, on genetically predisposed hair follicles. Although androgenic alopecia is hereditary, there are clinically proven medications that can stabilise hair loss and promote regrowth.

The earlier you tackle hair loss, the more impressive the results are likely to be, so it’s well worth getting professional advice as soon as possible. The Belgravia Centre’s individually designed hair loss treatment courses are based around primary medications that are clinically proven to be safe and effective, as well as various hair growth boosters. You can look at some of our many hair loss success stories to see the excellent results we have achieved with our comprehensive treatment programmes.

“I am 24 years old and have only had my first check-up and treatment after 3 months.  I am very happy with the good improvement compared to my first initial session and am determined to continue for the remaining sessions of the course.  Hope to observe even better results in the next session!”

I bought some pills on the internet that were supposed to cure hair loss, but they haven’t made any difference. Have I been ripped off?

Unfortunately there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there making money from selling hair loss remedies that have no evidence to support them.

There is only one way to make sure that you are getting effective treatment for your money, and that is to go to a reputable clinic that uses clinically proven medications. The Belgravia Centre bases its treatment programmes around the only two hair loss products that are licensed by the MHRA, and FDA approved, as being both safe and effective at stabilising hair loss and promoting regrowth.

Propecia is a 5-alpha reductase blocker, which prevents the formation of DHT, the hormone that inhibits the growth of new hair follicles. Minoxodil increases the blood supply to the hair follicles, delivering nutrients and preventing shrinkage. Belgravia’s specialists have found that using these two proven medications, along with various hair growth boosters, gives the best results for the majority of patients. You can see some of our ‘before and during treatment’ photos to see the impressive results we can achieve.

Some products that make claims to reverse hair loss are not only unproven, but can also be dangerous, so it’s wise to seek professional advice from experts who are qualified to prescribe these two proven pharmaceuticals, and will monitor your individual progress to ensure optimum results.

You can contact us on 020 7730 6666 to arrange a free consultation with one of our hair specialists, who can advise you on the most effective treatment programme for your particular hair loss condition. Alternatively, send us a message with any enquiry you might have, or complete the online diagnostic form for a home-use treatment course that fits your needs, available worldwide.

A two-year study comparing the effect of low-carbohydrate versus low-fat diets in a group of obese adults has found that while both were equally effective at helping participants lose weight, the low-carbohydrate diet was more effective at increasing “good” HDL cholesterol and lowering diastolic blood pressure.

However, the study, which was published in the August 3, 2010 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, also found that those following the low-carb diet reported more side effects, including hair loss, bad breath and constipation. After six months, 45% of the low-carb group reported hair loss, compared to only 21% of the low-fat group.

Diets that exclude certain food groups can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies that starve your hair follicles of nutrients, causing accelerated hair loss, and so it is advisable to consult a dietician or nutritionist before embarking on any restricted eating regime. However, there are many different causes for hair loss, and so if you have any concerns about thinning hair or patchy hair loss you would be wise to seek specialist help.

Our comprehensive hair loss treatment programmes are based around primary medications clinically proven to stabilise hair loss and promote regrowth, as well as various hair growth boosters. You can look at some of our hair loss success stories to see the impressive results we have achieved for so many happy customers.

“I’m 21 years old.  I always wanted to control my hair from loosing.  I have tried Chinese treatment but it didn’t work.  I got recommended Belgravia by a friend and started the treatment.  Within 2 months and a week I got the hair I have always dreamed of.  To be totally honest I didn’t have a full head of hair even when I was born, now I can get my hair done in any shape thanks to Belgravia.  Their customer care is as good as the treatment.”

While England’s women’s rugby union team put up a valiant fight against the victorious New Zealand side in Sunday’s World Cup final, none can deny the gap that was left by the absence of Heather Fisher, who was sidelined due to injury.

The feisty number 7 is a shining example of can-do spirit, playing with a passion and commitment that makes her an excellent role model for the sport. Fisher, who suffers from severe alopecia, is currently almost totally bald, but does not allow the stress of her condition to interfere with her game.

A former bobsleigh medal winner, 26-year-old Fisher is a university sports lecturer, and has won awards as both England Sevens Coaches’ Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year. She acknowledges that her hair loss is stress related, but refuses to dwell on it, instead keeping the focus firmly on the sport she loves.

Alopecia areata is a condition that manifests as sudden patchy hair loss, caused by hair follicles prematurely entering the resting phase of the hair cycle. It can affect men and women at any age. It is generally regarded as an autoimmune disorder, although it may be triggered by an external factor such as stress or injury. There may also be a genetic predisposition or hormonal trigger to the onset of hair loss due to alopecia.

Treatment for alopecia areata can be very successful, depending on the severity of the condition and the stage it has reached. Once it progresses to alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis, where all body hair is shed, the prognosis is less hopeful, so it is advisable to seek advice as soon as the problem is recognised.

The trichologists at the Belgravia Centre have a wealth of experience in diagnosing and addressing a wide range of hair loss conditions. Patches of hair loss can be treated with Belgravia’s Minoxidil 12.5% + Azelaic Acid formulation, which we have found to be the most safe and effective treatment. You can see the kind of results we have achieved in treating alopecia areata here.

Our advisors will be happy to discuss an individual hair loss treatment programme with you, based around primary medications that are clinically proven to stabilise hair loss and promote regrowth, along with various hair growth boosters.

“One year ago I was losing my hair and sceptical as to whether anything could be done about it.  Having taken what was for me one last shot at saving my hair, I could not be more impressed with the results.  The back of my hair has thickened and my front hair line is immeasurably better than 12 months ago.  I would not have a front hairline now were it not for The Belgravia Centre.”
