Vitamin D deficiency can hinder hair recovery, and addressing it may help with hair loss. Hair loss may result from various issues like excess DHT, vitamin deficiency, or scalp inflammation.

Vitamin E and K deficiencies due to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency may affect hair growth. A scalp biopsy is recommended to check for autoimmune-related hair loss.
