Hair Loss due to Weight Loss & How to Halt the Fallout

Written By suzi watkins

Medical facts tell us being overweight or obese can have a serious impact on health. Carrying extra fat leads to serious health consequences such as cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis, and some cancers (endometrial, breast and colon).

Studies show that quick weight loss can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss is called: TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM.

  • This usually lasts 3-6 months

  • It usually takes 3 months after a trigger to start the hair shedding cycle.

  • When Telogen hair falls out, it can take up to 8 months to produce new hair

THE KEY IS TO GET AHEAD OF THE SHED.

  • Start using a hair loss shampoo right away. Clinical strength products can anchor existing hair, keep the hair in the growing phase, stimulate growth and repair hair.

  • Using topicals and taking hair growth supplements keep the hair in the growing phase, increases protein levels, increases hair diameter and creates thicker stronger hair.

  • Increase protein, fruits and vegetables in your diet. Foods high in:
