I’ve been reading a bit about how intermittent fasting (IF) can impact various aspects of health, and I’m curious if anyone here has noticed any effects on hair health or growth. I started doing 16:8 IF a few weeks ago, and while it’s been good for my energy levels, I haven’t noticed much of a difference in my hair yet. Has anyone else tried it and seen any changes, positive or negative?
I gave IF a shot a while back, mainly for the weight management and energy benefits. Didn’t really notice much of a difference in my hair, to be honest. It was kind of a mixed bag for me. I felt more energetic and my skin cleared up a bit, but hair-wise, it was pretty much the same. I’ve heard some folks say it can reduce stress and inflammation, which could theoretically be good for hair, but I didn’t see any noticeable changes myself. Might be worth sticking with it longer to see if anything changes, or maybe try adjusting your diet a bit to see if that helps.
I tried IF too, mainly for the weight and energy stuff. Didn’t do much for my hair either. I agree, might take longer to see any real changes, or maybe tweak your diet a bit. Worth a shot, I guess.
