what food/vitamin/ mineral deficiency would cause hair loss?

I know i haven't been eating correctly the last few months (ex: skipping meals, eating snacks like crackers, to fill me instead of meals) due to a busy schedule and some stress. I'm just wondering what i could do to prevent more hair from falling off my head? are their certain foods or vitamin supplements i could take? Please let me know! Anything suggestions?

    B vitamins, specifically Biotin, is good for hair. But you also might want to get your thyroid tested.

    Take yeast tablets, it works for me, if you use it every day, and try to eat healthy once or twice a day, fruits, some veges, good oils, seeds, nuts etc (not very difficult), then there will be good results.
    Wash your hair every 3 days, so it'll have time to protect itself.
    Should be enough…Good luck.
