Hair Fall, Poor Diet?

Question
Hello! I am a 17 year old girl, of South Asian origin. I have noticed that in the last two months my hair has begun to fall rapidly and now i have a "bald spot" - where my considerably long hair falls apart to reveal scalp that my friends joke about. They only do it in jest but i do get embarrassed! I haven't done anything out of the ordinary recently, i have always stayed up late to finish homework and projects, always been a poor eater, but its only now that my hair has begun to fall so much.
My weight varies between 38 and 42 kgs, and my diet on a usual day is as follows:
Breakfast: bowl of milk and cornflakes
Lunch: A handful of rice and curry OR one roti and some vegetable.
Snack: An omelette,a glass of milk,and sometimes biscuits
Dinner: Roti and nutella (chocolate spread) or vegetable.
...
What could be the reason for balding? My late nights, lack of exercise, or poor diet - or maybe extensive use of hair products? i only use shampoo and conditioner, twice a week. I rarely use any other product on my hair. So i dont think that's the reason.
Do you have any suggestions for how i can improve my nutrition? What helps hair growth?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer
The main reasons for hair loss are hormonal imbalances, physical and emotional stress, and genetics.
Fluctuating Hormone levels can go up and down for a variety of reasons, including thyroid conditions this can cause hair loss.The physical stress of certain illnesses such as diabetes and lupus can also cause hair to fall out.Hair loss is one of the symptoms of low thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism), and estimates that about 10 percent of American women suffer from the condition.If someone in your family ancestry--either male or female--went bald prematurely, you're genetically predisposed to baldness.

Hair Loss That Is Caused By Inflammation And / Or Scalp Or Dermatological Issues: Sometimes, a scalp that is damaged can manifest itself in hair loss. To have healthy hair that is deeply embedded in your scalp and properly nourished, you must have a scalp that is conducive to this. There are many dermatological issues that can cause shedding including ringworm, severe dandruff, yeast infections, candida, or irritation that causes inflammation.


Good Luck
