Going on a diet is undoubtedly animportant step in order to lose weight.

Though going on a diet is good for you, many are hesitant to do it because of hair thinning or the potential of losing their hair. So is it true that dieting could cause hair loss?

Well the simple truth is, it really varies according to the person because dieting affectsevery individual in a different way. Some may develop hair loss and some may not, some may experience hair thinning or some may go all the way bald.

How can dieting cause hair loss? Our hair is mostly made from dead protein strands.The only thing living in hair is found underneath the hair follicles, at the bottom end of the hair strand are rapidly growing cells that make about half an inch of hair every 4 weeks. These rapidly producing cells need lots of protein for them to work properly, this is the reason why some dieters develop hair loss.

Luckily, all this is temporary. When we’re on a diet, it is natural to eat lesser amounts of nutrients and this includes proteins. But in due time, when our bodies learn to adjust to this, hair will ultimately grow back. But if you want your hair to grow faster or better yet prevent any hair loss from occurring when you’re dieting, the use of a nutrient rich shampoo like FAST is a good idea.FAST or Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy is a herbal nutrient rich shampoo that contain amino acids, vitamin and other nutrients that is needed to stimulate faster hair growth.
