Danielle Marzella has been working in the field of hair loss for years, running her own business in New Jersey, traveling the world educating people and appearing as an expert on American television. She’s been in Dubai this month to launch the CNC hair replacement system by Cesare Regazzi, which uses a 3D printer and real human hair. There are obviously many reasons why people lose their hair, but it often has to do with underlying conditions and deficiencies. If you are experiencing hair loss, there is a lot you can do. here are supplements Marzella wants you to talk to your doctor about and a list of foods to consider adding to your diet.
Vitamins, minerals and protein
Protein — The hair is composed mostly of protein (keratin). A lack of protein in a diet can slow hair growth.
Omega 3 fatty acids — This provides nutrients and protein for the hair follicles, and supports healthy hair growth while adding shine and luster to hair.
Iodine and Selenium — They can aid in the proper functioning of hormones and in healthy hair growth.
Vitamin A — It can help to produce healthy sebum, which can keep the hair from becoming dry and brittle, reducing breakage.
Vitamin E — It boosts blood circulation in the body, especially important for the scalp. It can enable cells to get more oxygen, which produces more energy to allow improvement in hair growth.
Vitamin C — It is important for the immune system, hair and skin. Vitamin C produces collagen in the skin and regenerates cells.
Foods
Fruits — This is nature’s source for vitamins A ,C and E.
Eggs — They are a great source of protein, iron and selenium.

Beans — They contain protein and biotin. Some beans, such as kidney, pinto and garbanzo, are also good sources of vitamin E.
