Hello. Whey protein is safe. If protein demand of body (which is increased when you work out) matches intake, it usually does not cause hairloss. However beware of any protein supplement that is gym made or provided there, which could have anabolic steroids mixed. Anabolic steroids can cause hairloss and acne.
