    TLDR A balanced diet with essential vitamins, especially B-complex, prevents hair loss.
    The document "Vitamins and Loss of Scalp Hair" by Eugene Foldes, published in Acta Medica Scandinavica in 1959, explores the relationship between vitamin deficiencies and hair loss. The study suggests that certain vitamins, particularly those in the B-complex group, play a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair. Deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to hair thinning and loss. The paper emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in essential vitamins to prevent scalp hair loss and promote hair growth.
