A member asked:

Can bread,mustache, or any hair other than head hair fall down or break down?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Possible : Hair follicles which function to form hair are dependent on good nerve and blood supply and a healthy skin. Skin diseases, impaired blood and nerve supply, poor nutrition and hormonal imbalance are unhealthy for hair causing loss.
