I've always had very thick hair even though I'm hypothyroid (hashimoto's) but since I tried to balance my chemstry myself I've lost about half of all my hair, something I thought I'd never experience and I'm freaking out to say the least.
I was in four lows and sympathetic dominance and tried high calcium, magnesium zinc manganese b vitamins and then the shedding started, well It actually started when I tried the electrolyte protocol aswell so I stopped that. But this time it got even worse since I did it for a longer period. Im thinking of going on TEI, but I was thinking of doing a Breuss fast first to sort of jump start, accoring to my second TEI test im a fast 2. So I'm not sure If I should even try fasting when I'm in sympathetic dominance? any ideas?

I've read hair loss or shedding can happen when you do radical changes to your diet and I've read its also common when you do a long fast, although most people say their hair grow thicker and fuller after the fast. What are some of your experiences?

in short: i don't think it will bald MOST people. MAYBE someone who's 18-25 or 30 or like never had hair loss but has the genes, maybe it would start. BUT guys who already lost hair either due to steroids, meds, or just A.a. I don't think they'll notice much. Like Randro I did shed, herbs I shed, but basically looks exactly the same. Did i regrow some? who knows. I don't. I must have a few yrs ago grown some back, but there's some telogen effluvium/medication/genetic stuff at play for me.

Underlying condition of yours may make this a legitimate worry, but I mean. Fasting does so much, that it's still worth the risk.
