5. Salty foods (or too much salt)

Besides the fact that high-sodium diets make you bloated and can cause high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease, too much salt can also cause hair loss. This happens when excess sodium accumulates around the hair follicules, which blocks the absorption of vital nutrients that keep your hair healthy. Make sure you limit your salt intake and get enough potassium, which is essential for hair growth.
