Women's hair loss may be deficient in trace elements such as iron, selenium, and zinc.
1. Iron
deficiency may cause anemia, resulting in weakened blood oxygen supply, which reduces the supply of nutrients to scalp hair follicles through the blood, so hair loss will occur.
2. Selenium itself
lacks selenium, which will affect the development of hair follicles, making hair follicles malnourished and unable to synthesize hair normally. Hair will become soft, dry, and even fall off.
3. Zinc
Zinc is involved in protein synthesis. However, protein is the main component of hair. If zinc deficiency causes the synthesized protein to decrease, the hair will become fragile and may fall off.
