Anyone else experiencing hair loss after losing weight?

Hello all! I have been experiencing a ton of hair loss after going into maintenance. I just lost over 50lbs and now my hair seems to be falling out like crazy. Did anyone else experience this after losing a large amount of weight? I naturally have super thick hair and it is getting thinner and thinner by the day. Is there anything I can do to stop it? I don't take a vitamin or anything as I get most of them from my diet as it is. Thanks!!

apparently, it's not unusual.

it'll grow back when you're done losing weight.

Hi, I have not experience this myself, but I used to visit the Daily Strength Boards and the people on the bariatric surgery site complained frequently of hair loss. Try some Biotin it is supposed to help.

It's not uncommon if you're starving yourself. It's one of the common signs of anorexia. What is your intake of calories?
