2 KINDS OF DRINKS HAIR LOSS EXPERTS SAY YOU SHOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Alcohol

Most people who fancy parties cannot miss a drink, especially alcohol. If there is a drink that badly dehydrates your hair, alcohol is a culprit. It also dehydrates the body generally, meaning it eliminates moisture from your hair, leaving it weak and prone to breakage. Furthermore, alcohol removes zinc from your hair, a mineral known for increasing volume and hair growth.

Carbonated drinks

Carbonated drinks are notorious for affecting insulin, making it less reactive to sugar. As a result, the blood sugar shoots, altering blood circulation to various body parts. This implies less nutrient supply to different parts, including the hair follicles, thus causing hair loss.
