Hair Fall
September 21, 2018

Hairfall after weight loss is a very common problem. It’s important to understand the cause of hair loss and get it treated before it’s late.

Temporary Hairfall and Losing Weight

Hairfall and hair thinning after weight loss is a condition called telogen effluvium in medical terms. Many people who lose weight do so with a restricted calorie intake. Just like your body, your hair needs calories to grow properly. At a basic level, understand your calorie limits to have an idea of how much you should be eating, and how many calories your hair is used to getting from your diet. Although hair loss from losing weight is often temporary, there are steps you can take to help your hair growth cycle go back to normal. When you are on a restricted diet and losing weight, more hair than usual goes into the resting phase, so hair falls out faster than it grows back in. It’s one of the most common forms of hair loss among both men and women. Although it’s normally limited to the scalp, more serious cases can affect eyebrows and body hair.

How to control hair fall because of losing weight?

Protein makes up almost the entire hair structure, and luckily for us, it’s also one of the most readily available nutrients in everyday food. Increase your protein intake with foods like red meat, beans, and seafood. Other key hair growth vitamins and nutrients to supplement include vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and zinc. These vitamins and minerals have all been shown to contribute to regular hair growth and can be found in almost any standard weight-loss diet. If you’re experiencing some hair thinning after weight loss, just relax and understand that it’s a normal process. Your hair follicles aren’t permanently damaged but they are adjusting to the changes. Make more effort to watch your diet and feed your body with the nutrients it needs to effectively grow hair. If you’re having trouble getting all of the nutrients you need for your best hair growth, consult a specialist who can help you with your problem.
