Bad eating habits lead to hair loss: too much love for meat and alcoholism, usually when a large amount of cholesterol is produced in the body, it will lead to excessive sebum and affect the blood supply of hair follicles. To some extent, it hinders the normal growth of hair and leads to hair loss.
