1- Red meat

"Try to cut down on the amount of red meat and fried food in your diet," explains Dr Yoram Harth.

2- Refined carbohydrates

"Eating refined carbohydrates in excess can hinder hair growth in several ways."

3- Sugary treats

"Sugary treats with preservatives, artificial flavours and food colouring increase free radicals in the scalp," continues Ghanima Abdullah.

4- Seed oils

"In excess, they can cause inflammation throughout the body, including in the hair follicles."

5- French fries

"When it comes to hair loss, the best thing to do is to avoid foods that are high in sugar and salt," says Amr Salem.

6- White bread

"Foods like white bread, pasta and rice are high on the glycemic index, which can cause inflammation and lead to hair loss," says Ghanima Abdullah.
