TLDR - Alternate day fasting leads to hair follicle damage in mice.

Common intermittent fasting regimens inhibit hair follicle regeneration in mice
Fasting selectively eliminates activated HFSCs, but not EpiSCs that maintain epidermis
Activated adrenal gland-dermal adipocyte crosstalk mediates HFSC apoptosis
Intermittent fasting inhibits human hair growth in a randomized clinical trial

I haven't found the full paper in the usual places. So I'm relying on the writeup

In both mice and humans topical vitamin E proved to provide enough antioxidant protection to prevent the hair loss.
