Does Smoking Cause Hair Loss?

Excessive smoking narrows blood vessels that deliver essential nutrients to hair follicles.

Will my hair grow back if I stop smoking?

By quitting smoking, it is possible to regrow hair. Your blood vessels will no longer constrict and follicles will become active again.

Why smoking causes hair loss:

• Poor blood circulation: Toxins cause blood vessel constriction.
• Weak immune system: Smoking impairs blood circulation in the body.
• Pollutants: Nicotine and cotinine can settle in hair shafts.

A noticeable difference will be visible within 6 months after quitting smoking.
