What does zinc do in hair follicles, and does low zinc affect hair loss? Zinc is needed for cell growth, including in hair follicles, and studies link low blood zinc with some types of hair loss. Zinc supplements have been tested only in small studies of people who were low in zinc.
Should zinc be taken orally or applied topically for better results in hair growth? Oral zinc has been studied mainly in people with a low blood zinc level, and no trial compares oral and topical zinc for hair growth. Zinc pyrithione shampoo gave a small hair-count gain in one trial, less than half that of minoxidil.
Can a zinc deficiency directly cause hair thinning or increased shedding? Studies link low serum zinc to diffuse shedding and alopecia areata, and severe deficiency states cause hair loss that reverses when zinc is replaced. The evidence is mostly observational, the one supplementation study was small and uncontrolled, and zinc is not a treatment for pattern hair loss.
