You’re eating better. The number on the scale is going down. You’re feeling healthier.
Then suddenly… your hair starts shedding.
What many women don’t realize is that significant weight loss, whether from dieting, bariatric surgery, or weight loss medications, can sometimes trigger temporary hair loss.
Rapid weight loss can put stress on the body and may lead to nutritional deficiencies, including low iron or vitamin D, which are important for healthy hair growth.
The good news? Hair loss after weight loss doesn’t mean you've done something wrong. It simply means your body may need additional support.
If you're noticing increased shedding, don't ignore it and don't assume it's "just part of getting older." A proper assessment can help uncover what's really going on.
Have you ever experienced changes in your hair after a major health or lifestyle change?
