WEIGHT AND HAIR CYCLE

Hair loss after weight loss or a strict diet

Rapid weight loss, a significant energy deficit, or a one-sided diet can temporarily affect the hair cycle. Diffuse hair loss often does not start until later.

In brief

  • Hair loss may become noticeable two to three months after the change.
  • The pattern is usually diffuse.
  • Energy, proteins, and micronutrients are relevant for normal hair growth.
  • Restoration of nutrition and weight stability supports the hair cycle.

BIOLOGICAL PRIORITY

Why does the hair react?

When there is a severe energy deficit, the body distributes nutrients differently. As a result, more hair follicles may temporarily shift into the resting phase.

The visible hair loss only occurs when those hairs later fall out.

DIFFUSE PROFILE

How do you recognise the pattern?

More hair comes loose across the scalp. The ponytail may feel thinner without one specific bald spot.

A receding hairline usually follows a different pattern.

NUTRITION

What supports recovery?

A stable, well-balanced eating pattern with sufficient energy and protein forms the foundation. If deficiencies are suspected, a targeted assessment may be useful.

Large fluctuations and repeated crash diets can slow recovery.
