There appears to be no evidence to suggest that people who eat red meat are at an increased risk of losing their hair. To the contrary, as red meat is rich in a variety of nutrients you need to maintain overall health, some dermatologists claim that abstaining from red meat while failing to eat foods that supply the nutrients that meat supplies may impede your hair growth.As red meat is typically rich in protein and iron, and a loss of these nutrients can lead to hair loss, eating red meat may prevent nutritionally caused hair loss in some situations.
