Lack of nutrition and protein has caused my hair to recede. Any suggestions? (photos)

If you believe poor nutrition has cause your hair loss, then start eating healthy.  It may take over a year to see some changes.  

If you are looking for a solution to keep the hair you have without any side effects, you should take a look at laser technology.Typically 30 minute treatments every other day will help turn miniaturized hairs back to strong growing hairs and will also help halt the progression of future hair loss.In the past you had to go to our office and be treated with our clinical units but now you can be treated in the privacy of your home with Capillus 272.Patients typically can start seeing results as early as 4 months.You need to have a consultation with a MD that understands all the available modalities.Let me know if I can be of any additional help.

there are many options to improve hair growth, I do a combination approach in my practice including PRP and progesterone injections. Best, Dr. Emer.

Lack of nutrition and lack of protein is extremely rare in North American men. It's possible but usually patients are ill. The most likely cause in North American men for reduction ion hair volume is androgenetic alopecia. See a hair specialist for guidance. You'll want to first confirm the diagnosis and determine if it's male balding or nutritional issues then discuss treatments.  

Dear Alexmcom,

One would have to have very severe
nutritional deficiency to affect the genetic course of male pattern hair
loss. Although stress, nutritional
irregularities and weight loss have been attributed to accelerating male
pattern hair loss the evidence is marginal at best. A well balanced diet, a combination of
low-level light therapy, topical 5-15% Minoxidil serum, plasma rich protein and
topical nutrient serum will likely restore some of your density.

I would seek out the advice of a
medical hair specialist. One such
excellent doctor is Dr. Jeff Donovan in Toronto and optimize our natural
density. Your genetic tendency to male
pattern hair loss may continue to progress and these non-surgical techniques
can retard the process. Of course, the
addition of Propecia or Finasteride will help with the progression of male pattern
hair loss and even intrascalp progesterone injections.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.

Although you can suffer hair loss from nutrition deficiency, you seem to have initial stage of  genetic male pattern  hair loss.  It is best to see a hair restoration specialist to get the best treatment option for you. 

That precipitates male genetic hair loss. These changes are usually not reversible but hair transplants may counter the impact. You need to see a good doctor to get an examination and an opinion, something not possible over the internet

The first thing to do is make sure you are getting 40 to 50 grams of protein per day. Reestablish a well balanced diet.  If you do not have genes necessary for male pattern alopecia,  then the hair shaft diameter should thicken.
