Can Weight Loss Cause Hair Loss? What You Need to Know

Losing weight is exciting, but noticing more hair loss in the shower? You’re not alone! Hair loss can happen during weight loss, but here’s why—and how to stop it.

🧬 Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
➡️ Rapid weight loss stresses the body, causing temporary hair shedding (telogen effluvium).
➡️ Not enough protein—hair needs amino acids to grow!
➡️ Low iron or biotin levels—common in calorie-restricted diets.

💡 How to Prevent Hair Loss While Losing Weight:
✅ Lose weight gradually—aim for 1-2 lbs per week for best results.
✅ Eat enough protein—at least 60-100g per day supports hair growth.
✅ Take vitamins—iron, biotin, and collagen can help strengthen hair.
✅ Stay hydrated—dehydration can weaken hair follicles.

📢 The good news? Weight-loss-related hair shedding is temporary—once your body adjusts, your hair should grow back!
