If your hair is shedding, thinning or breaking more easily lately, the problem could be hiding in your diet.Protein has gone mainstream, showing up in everything from popcorn to pancake mix to coffee creamer as people seek it to lose weight and build muscle. But it's also one of the most important nutrients for healthy locks, according to experts.Hair is primarily made of keratin, a protein built from amino acids, and without enough of it, strands can quickly lose strength and density.NEW 'CLEAR PROTEIN' HACK MUSCLES IN AS LATEST TREND IN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE"As a hair surgeon, I see protein deficiency show up as diffuse shedding and weaker, more brittle strands," said Dr. Ross Kopelman, a hair transplant surgeon at Kopelman Hair Restoration, which has offices in New York, New Jersey and Florida."When the body isn't getting enough, it diverts amino acids to organs it views as essential for survival," Kopelman told Fox News Digital. "Hair production slows or shuts down, and patients often come to me describing that their hair just isn't as strong and is falling out more easily."The most common pattern, according to Kopelman, is thinning across the scalp, not patchy bald spots but it can be helped."When protein intake is corrected, shedding typically slows within a couple of months and density gradually improves as new hairs grow in over subsequent cycles," he said.SKIP THE MULTIVITAMIN: 5 NUTRIENT-RICH FOODS RECOMMENDED BY DOCTORS INSTEADResearch shows that protein deficiency is directly linked to brittle, sparse strands, slower regrowth and increased breakage, and a study in the Journal of Dermatology found that participants with lower protein intake experienced more diffuse thinning across the scalp.The current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 46 grams per day for women and 56 grams for men, but Kopelman suggested more."I recommend most adults aim for about 1 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day," he said. "For someone under stress, dieting or recovering from surgery, I might go up to 1.6 grams."EATING ONE TYPE OF NUT DAILY COULD LOWER 'BAD' CHOLESTEROL, IMPROVE HEART HEALTH, STUDY FINDSHe said he doesn't believe more than that will accelerate hair growth."What matters is consistently hitting that range, not pushing far above it," he said.Two amino acids packed in protein, lysine and cysteine are especially important for keratin production, according to research in the Journal of Nutrition. They're abundant in protein-rich foods like eggs, fish, poultry, legumes and seeds."Lysine helps with hair shaft formation and iron absorption, while cysteine contributes sulfur bonds that give the hair its strength," Kopelman said. "Patients often notice a difference when they shift toward more complete, amino acidrich sources of protein in their diet."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERPlant-based diets can also support healthy hair when thoughtfully planned, he added. Pairing legumes and grains helps ensure complete proteins, while iron, B12, zinc and vitamin D should be closely monitored to avoid deficiencies that can independently trigger shedding.Dr. Shani Francis, chief wellness director of California-based Ashira Dermatology, recently told Everyday Health that, although protein deficiencies are rare in the U.S., even for vegans, they can contribute to hair loss, but factors like vitamin A excess, iron deficiency, thyroid disease, infection, stress or eating disorders may also be to blame.Hair is often the first thing to go when nutrition is lacking, she said."The body is using everything it can to keep what's most important [going]," she said.MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEFrancis also said that shedding 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal and not cause for concern.Protein supplements can be useful for people who struggle to meet daily targets such as those recovering from illness or weight loss but they're not a miracle cure."Extra scoops of powder won't override genetics, hormones or other limiting factors," Kopelman said. "Powders should fill gaps, not replace a balanced diet."He also cautions against poor-quality products, which may lack third-party testing or upset digestion. Whole foods provide additional nutrients like iron and zinc that powders can't match.While more research is needed on whether eating protein far beyond your needs can boost hair growth in otherwise healthy people, experts agree that hair follicles require a steady supply of amino acids from protein."For now, my advice is simple," Kopelman said. "Meet your daily needs, spread protein evenly across meals and view it as one part of a bigger picture that also involves hormones, stress management, micronutrients and genetics."

The killing of a commuter aboard a North Carolina train is the latest act of violence affecting the United States public transit systems, as reports of other attacks continue to alarm riders.On Aug. 22, Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, finished a night of work at Zepeddies Pizzeria when she boarded a train in Charlotte to make her way home. Surveillance video shows Zarutska, still in her uniform, taking a seat in front of a man wearing a red hoodie. Moments later, the man can be seen pulling out a knife and stabbing Zarutska to death.Authorities have identified the suspected attacker as Decarlos Brown, who was arrested on a murder charge.CHARLOTTE TRAIN STABBING PUTS NORTH CAROLINA COMMUTERS ON EDGE AFTER RANDOM ATTACKThe attack sparked concern around the country, with the possibility of violence impacting low-income and middle-class Americans who rely on public transit concerning commuters."Transit violence disproportionately impacts low-income and middle-class Americans because they are the primary users," Lance LoRusso, founder of the Blue Line Lawyer Institute, told Fox News Digital. "Riders do not choose their fellow passengers and have no choice but to accept a seat next to someone who may cause them concern. The open access and utility of a mass transit system requires that anyone can ride.""Therefore, all travelers are limited in their self-defense and protection strategies. For example, a person can choose not to share a city cab with another passenger, but has no such option on a city bus or train, and may have limited options should they become involved in a potentially dangerous scenario."CHILLING VIDEO SHOWS MOMENTS BEFORE UKRAINIAN REFUGEE STABBED TO DEATH ON CHARLOTTE LIGHT RAILIn recent years, numerous high-profile attacks have made national headlines, forcing Americans to question if their daily commute could mean risking their lives.Last month, Chicago police announced they are searching for five suspects wanted for their alleged involvement in an attack that left one person injured on the citys Red Line train.The incident occurred at around 7 a.m. on Aug. 13, when five individuals approached a passenger in the Loop,according to FOX 32 Chicago.

When the victim attempted to retrieve his belongings, the group allegedly battered the man before running off.Details regarding the victims condition remain unknown, and authorities have asked for the publics help in tracking down the four suspects.Last year, Daniel Penny, 26, was acquitted by a New York City jury after facing charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the 2023 subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely.DANIEL PENNY FOUND NOT GUILTY IN SUBWAY CHOKEHOLD TRIALThe incident made national headlines after Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, barged onto an uptown F train and began threatening passengers on May 1, 2023. Penny, an architecture student and Marine veteran, intervened in an attempt to protect the riders, with bystander video showing Penny holding Neely in a chokehold on the floor of the train.Witness Ivette Rosario, a 19-year-old student, testified in Pennys trial that Neely shouted that someone would "die that day.""I got scared by the tone that he was saying it," she said. "I have seen situations, but not like that."DANIEL PENNY DEFENSE CALLS FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST TO WITNESS STAND: THE CHOKEHOLD DID NOT CAUSE THE DEATHPenny was subsequently tried and acquitted in 2024 in what became a hallmark case surrounding the dangers facing commuters on public transit and bystanders duty to react when law enforcement is not present."A person on a transit system placed in a violent or threatening situation may be limited in their ability to defend themselves or even escape an attacker," LoRusso said. "Even other passengers may not be able to assist or summon help [for] a victim or potential victim.""The safety of transit system users may vary widely across the system and according to the time of day or day of the week," he added. "Although the high presence of users is often seen as a safety net and crime deterrent, horrible tragedies have occurred on crowded trains, buses and transit stations."A Los Angeles man was hospitalized in grave condition after being stabbed multiple times in the neck while riding the bus in North Hollywood,according to NBC4.ICE ARRESTS 'WORST OF THE WORST' ILLEGAL ALIENS IN LOS ANGELES WHILE PROTESTERS ADVOCATE FOR CRIMINALS: DHSThe incident occurred on Sept. 3, when two men riding the citys Metro G Line bus became involved in a verbal argument, the outlet reported.

This was intentional and we hope to prove this."If convicted, Zapeta would face life without the possibility of parole on the first-degree murder charge, with the second-degree murder charge carrying a potential sentence of 25 years to life, according to the Brooklyn District Attorneys Office.Fox News Digital's Danielle Wallace, Michael Dorgan and Michael Ruiz contributed to this report.

Republican lawmakers are accusing Democrats of playing politics over a resolution honoring the "life and legacy" of Charlie Kirk, which passed the House along bipartisan lines last week.The Friday vote split Democrats 95 voted to approve the measure, 58 voted in opposition, 38 voted "present" and 22 did not vote.House Republicans have been hammering those 58, and several pointed out the fractured vote was much different from an earlier resolution condemning an attack on state lawmakers from Minnesota who were shot earlier this year.That resolution passed the House in a unanimous 424-0 vote in late June.HOUSE PASSES TRUMP-BACKED PLAN TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN"In June, House Republicans voted unanimously to condemn the attacks on Democratic Minnesota lawmakers," Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., wrote on X late Sunday. "Last week, not even half of House Democrats voted to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk."Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., recounted the tragedy in Minnesota with more detail, writing in a statement, "When Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered, and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded, the U.S. House unanimously passed a resolution condemning the attack and political violence.""But after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, 58 Democrats voted against denouncing political violence," Mace wrote.Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., said he believed the decision by dozens of Democrats to oppose the measure would reflect negatively on the party as a whole in the coming midterm elections."58 House Democrats refused to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Every House Republican voted to condemn the attack against the Democrat lawmakers in Minnesota. This is why Democrats continue to lose," Steube wrote on X. "Americans wont forget in 2026."Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., also criticized those who voted "present.""Every single House Republican voted to condemn the murders in Minnesota. Meanwhile, 58 House Democrats refused to condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk. Another 38 put their hands in their pockets. Those 96 need to be held accountable," Fine wrote.The Minnesota resolution condemned "the June 14, 2025, attacks on Minnesota state legislators"and called "on all people in the United States to reaffirm our commitment to a safe, civil, and peaceful democracy."The resolution honored "the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman, who were killed, Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman, who were critically injured, and the law enforcement officers who rapidly responded to the attacks and apprehended the suspected perpetrator."GOP GOVERNOR NOMINEE PUSHES REDISTRICTING TO OUST STATE'S LONE HOUSE DEMRepublicans' measure memorializing Kirk went into comparatively more detail on the slain conservative activist as a person, lauding him as "one of the most prominent voices in America, engaging in respectful, civil discourse across college campuses, media platforms and national forums, always seeking to elevate truth, foster understanding and strengthen the Republic."It also said Kirk "personified the values of the First Amendmentand did so with honor, courage, and respect for his fellow Americans," while calling on all Americans to condemn political violence.Several Democrats who opposed the measure said they were uncomfortable with its praise of Kirk."Political violence should never be tolerated. However, empathy is not celebration, and I do not have to call Charlie Kirk a hero. He was no such thing. He repeatedly disparaged minorities, especially Black Americans," Rep. Shri Thandear, D-Mich., wrote on X Friday.Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a written statement, "Condemning the depravity of Kirks brutal murder is a straightforward matter one that is especially important to help stabilize an increasingly unsafe and volatile political environment where everyday people feel at risk.""It then only underscores the majoritys recklessness and intent to divide by choosing to introduce this resolution on a purely partisan basis, instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy with one of the many bipartisan options to condemn political violence and Kirks murder, as we did with the late Melissa Hortman," she continued. "His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans far from working tirelessly to promote unity as asserted by the majority in this resolution."

Hamas has drafted a letter to President Donald Trump, asking the American president to guarantee a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the immediate release of half of the hostages being detained within Gaza, Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in negotiations.The letter is expected to be delivered to Trump this week.Trump, who has been trying to help serve as a peacemaker on the global stage, has previously called for Hamas to release all the hostages it took captive during the heinous Oct. 7, 2023 attack against Israel.This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

The Dems' disdain for Charlie Kirk showed, even on the day of his memorial.Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, slammed others in her party for not opposing the resolution honoring him, saying it "hurt [her] heart" that only two White Democrats voted no.She claimed Kirk's rhetoric targeted people of color. In total, 58 House Dems voted against it. President Trump fired back: "It tells you that they're deranged."THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GAMBITS TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYSDespite calls to deescalate, Dems still labeled Trump a fascist and skipped Kirk's memorial in Arizona, and only six attended the earlier Capitol vigil.Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who are among Kirk's harshest critics, also didn't hold back. Omar claimed Kirk's legacy belongs "in the dustbin of history."REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: CONGRESS FAILS TO LOWER POLITICAL TEMPERATURE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONOcasio-Cortez previously called Kirk's views "ignorant [and] uneducated."At the memorial, former Trump administration official Ben Carson appeared to fire back: "I've seen him run circles around people with college degrees."
