Causes of Hair Loss and Hair Thinning
Following weight loss surgery, our bodies must adjust to a lesser amount of calories. Only those organs that require nutrients the most will receive them. Hair is not among those organs.
Hair strands also retreat into a state of temporary suspension after weight-loss surgery and do not produce new strands. The condition is temporary, and you don’t need to be concerned about losing all your hair.
Likewise, thinning hair is caused by deficiencies in our nutrition; for instance, low iron levels in the body causes hair loss.
