According to Dr. Hardik Doshi, lead surgeon in hair restoration at Ample, it’s essential to understand that hair loss can be triggered by a range of factors—including nutritional deficiencies and postpartum changes. “The initial approach should involve addressing any deficiencies through a well-rounded diet packed with essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health, hair growth, and prevent excessive shedding,” Dr. Doshi tells Vogue. “If considering dietary supplements, consulting a health care professional is advisable to assess requirements, potential risks, and how they may interact with existing health conditions or medications,” says Dr. Doshi.
