Can Losing Weight Speed Up Hair Loss?

[ArisToteLes]

Hey guys,


I started a pretty aggressive weight loss plan about 4 months ago (lost around 30 lbs so far), and I swear my hair has been thinning more than usual since then. I know diet affects hair, but does losing weight too fast actually cause more hair loss?

Has anyone else noticed increased shedding while dieting? And does the hair come back once your body adjusts, or is this permanent?

Yeah, rapid weight loss can trigger temporary shedding as I know.

 

[ArisToteLes]

Damn, I had no idea that could happen. Is there anything I can do to reduce the shedding while still losing weight?

ArisToteLes, this is actually more common than people think. Try to balance your diet and protein intake, and your hair should recover within 6-12 months.
