“When we age our whole body ages. What happens is our cells just get tired and stop working as well as they used to. The hair follicle is no different,” says board-certified dermatologist Neera Nathan, M.D. “It’s a collection of cells, and after a while they start to deplete. Eventually our hair follicles just aren’t as able to grow hair as well, just as our skin isn’t quite as able to regenerate collagen the way it did when it was younger.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Nathan about how nutrition affects hair health, how to reverse graying, common causes of thinning, and more.
