Losing weight is a wild adventure, complete with unexpected challenges like hair loss. But don't worry! I've got your back with some hair-raising tips to prevent shedding and boost glorious hair growth. Let's rock that healthy mane!

Protein Packs A Punch:

Listen up: if you want to prevent hair loss, then make sure you’re getting the required amount of protein daily! Aim for 60–80 g of protein daily to provide your body with the building blocks it needs for hair growth. In the early post-surgery period, when protein shakes are vital, make sure you're consistent with your intake. As you transition to solid foods, incorporate protein-rich options like beans, chicken, eggs, fish, and legumes. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

Vitamins and Supplements are your bestie:

Your daily routine must include vitamins and supplements, no exceptions. Multivitamins and specific supplements like biotin, vitamin D, and iron can make a huge difference. I recommend that you begin taking your Biotin 10,000mcg a month before surgery to give your hair a head start on growth and prevent losing those precious locks.

Hydration is key:

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! In addition to all the obvious benefits to your health, water also helps support healthy hair growth. Proper hydration keeps your scalp nourished and your hair follicles happy.

Be Gentle:  Treat your hair with care and kindness. Avoid harsh chemicals and styling treatments such as straightening, perming, or excessive coloring. These treatments are damaging to your hair's health and can contribute to hair loss. Choose gentler alternatives and embrace your natural beauty.

Stress less, hair more:

Stress is no friend to your hair. The rapid weight loss, the sudden calorie drop, and the worry about hair loss itself can all contribute to the problem. Take a deep breath and relax. Remember that hair loss after weight loss surgery is usually temporary and part of the normal process. In fact, your hair should start regrowing around the 6-month mark or even sooner.

Seek professional guidance:  

If hair loss continues to be a concern beyond the 6-month mark, it's time to consult your physician. They will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, checking for thyroid issues, low iron levels, and assessing your overall vitamin status. This ensures you're maintaining the recommended vitamin levels to support hair growth.

Don't let hair loss ruin your fabulous weight loss journey!

Take charge, nourish your body with key nutrients, and show some love to your locks. Remember, this is just a temporary phase, and your luscious hair will bounce back. Stay positive, embrace your transformation, and slay your new look!
