Look at this b**ch. She has the thickest hair I ever saw and she lives on ice cream and dogshit.


Why are some people so obsessed about hair being affected by food when it clearly isn't? Is there any actual scientific background that supports the claim that hairloss is in any way (alopecia or no) affected by diet?

What a strange video lol


This doesn’t prove anything because it’s just one obsecure anecdotal video .

People blame it on diet for the same reason they blame it on everything else - wearing hats , masturbating . People tend to assume unhealthy habits cause it because of the bald man stigma in society.

- Dunning–Kruger effect.

- Arrogance: some people want to believe that their great head of hair is the result of their impeccable hygiene and diet and that other people who lose their hair because they're lazy and ignorant

- Oversimplifying a complex world with incredibly complex problems like androgenetic alopecia

- Very American rejection of negativity and naive belief that all problems can be fixed with enough efforts (like changing your diet)
I wouldn't blame America exclusively for this. I blame the Sri Lankans.

I don’t think it prevents hairloss but a good diet will surely help with your overall appearance including your existing/remaining hair.
