Although genetics, stress, and smoking are major contributors, men (18–45) who frequently consume sugary drinks (alcohol, pop, all sweetened drinks, sports drinks and sugar-sweetened fruit juices) are over 3 times more likely to experience hair loss.

Excess sugar promotes inflammation throughout the body, which can damage and weaken hair follicles. High sugar intake can interfere with the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin D and iron, which are crucial for hair growth. Excessive sugar consumption may lead to insulin resistance, affecting circulation and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. Some research suggests excessive glucose is converted into compounds that inhibit energy to the hair root cells.
