The nutritionist also suggested some simple ways to prevent hair loss. Take a look:

*Get your protein corrected: Protein is very important for hair. It is made of keratin, which requires biotin, an important amino acid.
*Get tested for zinc, folic, and vitamin deficiency
*If you continue to experience hair loss post a nutrition programme, consult your nutritionist, Kinita advised.
