Hair fall rarely starts dramatically. It sneaks in. A few extra strands on the pillow. Hair clogging the shower drain. That moment when your parting looks slightly wider and you wonder, Was it always like this?
And then you realise – everyone around you is talking about it too. Friends, colleagues, even your salon stylist has a theory.
Honestly, it’s not shocking. Life feels faster now. Sleep is irregular, stress never really switches off, meals happen whenever there’s time, and pollution is just… everywhere. So the first instinct is to buy a new oil, try a viral serum, or order supplements that promise miracles.
But here’s the slightly unglamorous truth. Hair health usually begins long before any product touches your scalp. It starts with what’s on your plate.
