I am on protein diet and from last 15 days excess hairloss started how to stop that and why it happened?

HAIR LOSS ON DIET: Crash dieting, fad diets, and occasionally high protein diets, can cause temporary hair loss. How long have you been on this diet? Probably a vitamin deficiency. Ask the doctor who has prescribed it for you. I'm sure all your will come back.
