Vitamin A supports the maintenance and function of skin cells. It also plays essential roles in the immune and circulatory systems.

While there's not a lot of research connecting high-sugar diets with hair loss, experts know that sugar promotes inflammation. When people eat sugar or carbs, the sugar floods the blood. This causes a spike of insulin and androgens, which bind to hair follicles and cause the hair to fall out.
