Many modern diets are high-fat, high-animal protein and high-salt. A diet of processed foods especially nutrient-depleted ones like white flour, refined white sugar, soft drinks, fried foods, hydrogenated oils and food additives damages the kidneys and creates acidic blood which, amongst other health issues, leads to hair loss.

This type of lifestyle diet leads to your body having a vitamin deficiency and this is another major cause of hair loss.
