Hair loss is not only driven by male hormones; immune system problems can also cause conditions like alopecia areata (원형탈모) and telogen effluvium (휴지기탈모). When immunity malfunctions, the body may attack hair follicles, causing round bald patches typical of alopecia areata. Chronic inflammation from stress, fatigue, or infection can slow follicle regeneration and push hairs into the resting (telogen) phase, leading to shedding. To help prevent immune-related hair loss, focus on strengthening immunity: prioritize good sleep (which supports melatonin and growth hormone), eat whole, minimally processed foods (e.g., brown rice instead of polished rice, whole wheat instead of refined flour, whole fruits instead of juices), and include fermented foods like cheonggukjang (청국장), yogurt, and cheese for beneficial probiotics. Consider supplements with vitamin D, selenium, and zinc to support immune function and recovery from inflammation.
