Can poor nutrition cause hair loss?
Radical weight loss diets can indeed cause reactive hair loss. But reactive hair loss (Telogen Effluvium) is different from hereditary hair loss. Hereditary hair loss is the most common form and accounts for the majority of cases in both men and women. Telogen Effluvium is a limited and temporary hair loss that resolves on its own. Generally, hair loss lasts about 3-4 months followed by an additional 3-4 months for hair to recover to its previous state. Other conditions that may cause Telogen Effluvium include anemia, pregnancy, general anesthesia, and trauma. If you have Telogen Effluvium as well as hereditary hair loss, your hair may not regrow as fully as it was before the temporary loss.

What is considered normal hair loss?
Most people lose between 50-100 hairs per day, which is considered normal hair loss. This is balanced by new hair growth through three phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition phase), and telogen (resting phase). Daily loss of 150 hairs is considered significant. If you start noticing more hair than usual in the shower drain, on your pillow, or in your hairbrush, it may be hair loss and/or thinning.
