Hair Production and Protein Deficiency

Your hair is literally made of protein, and if you don't eat enough, your body makes

a tough choice. Inside your cells are tiny factories called ribosomes, which build all

the proteins you need to live. But these factories need raw materials—the amino acids from

the protein you eat. When you're running low, your body goes into

conservation mode. It decides that proteins for critical functions, like your immune

system, are more important than building new hair. So,

it shuts down hair production to save those precious resources. It's your body sacrificing the non-essentials

to keep you going.
