Hair Loss EEEEP!!

v_addison

Is anyone else out there losing their hair as they lose their weight?? I'm getting a little upset. I've always prided myself on thick hair and since I started losing weight, more and more of it is going down the drain
Is there anything I can do to stop this?

I am but I'm not sure it's anything to do with losing weight :-(

Me too..but I have really think hair so it hasn't been noticeable to anyone else. I don't know the answer but have heard of others with this issue too.

In my experience hair loss = poor eating. As in, not getting enough protein, nutrients in my my died. Also, it happened when I wasn't eating enough. I'd suggest upping your protein and start taking some vitamins. And seeing a doc, it might be something else and you should def ask a "real" person.

I comb white glue through my hair every morning. Fingers crossed!

billsica

did you just have a baby?? That is more likely the reason

as off the wall as this way sound, how old is your youngest baby? (noticed the picture on your ticker)

Poor nutrition. Are you eating enough? That's the only time I've ever heard of hair loss during weight loss. I would suggest seeing your doc.

Could be that you are malnourished, or your thyroid isn't working correctly. I would go see a dr and get a blood test done.

Yep...poor eating and no oil in your body will cause hair loss.

Nope, no hair loss. Just fat loss. Try vitamins?

I was having the same problem, even went to the doctor because I was really concerned, but it slowed down

Dont freak out just yet...
You can lose up to 100 hairs a day!
As i have gotten older my hair has thinned a little- probably in perms/dyes but still is healthy. i also find that the closer i get to needing a hair cut the more hair goes down the drain... Or maybe your deficient in something.. our hair and nails tell us when we need to up certain vitamins n minerals...

Good luck and happy losing!

If you are losing hair, your body isn't in good shape. It's undernourished. Try eating more or maybe healthier foods if your not already.

My hair falls out due to my thyroid condition.

My doctor recommended I take folic acid in addition to a regular one-a-day vitamin. The drains in my apartment are considerably less clogged.

this after my baby turned about 9 months i started shedding my hair like crazy, same with my first pregnancy

I did have a baby a year ago. I guess I was stumped because this did not go on for so long after my first born. I'm hoping that is the cause.

Are you getting enough good fat in your diet? I have heard that not getting enough fat can cause hair loss and your nails to be brittle. ?????

Are you stressed out? That's normally why hair falls out. Working out and eating healthy should make your hair stronger.

Try a fish oil supplement. As my body fat % decreases, I lose a little more hair. It's nothing alarming, but I shed a little more than usual. I also notice it is seasonal, so think about that too. Try not to stress. I find it hard to believe that you're actually "malnourished"
