Some people notice increased hair loss during Ramadan, which is often related to changes in lifestyle and eating habits during fasting. Dehydration, insufficient nutrients, staying up late, and lack of sleep are all factors that can affect hair health and strength.
Therefore, it is important to understand the causes of hair loss during fasting and follow a healthy hair care routine throughout Ramadan.
Causes of Hair Loss in Ramadan
1. Dehydration
Lack of fluids during fasting hours can lead to dryness in the body and scalp, which may weaken hair follicles and increase hair shedding.
2. Poor Nutrition
Skipping balanced meals during iftar and suhoor may result in a deficiency of important nutrients for hair health, such as:
-
Proteins
-
Iron
-
Zinc
-
Vitamin D
-
Vitamin E
3. Changes in Lifestyle
Staying up late and having insufficient sleep during Ramadan can cause physical stress, which affects the hair growth cycle.
4. Stress and Tension
Stress and lack of rest can weaken hair follicles, leading to increased hair loss.
