Hair loss along with fat loss.

[IRCRomeo]

I'm 21, and over the past few months of my change of lifestyle, I noticed loose hair in my hands after shampooing, gelling my hair, towel drying, etc. Now I can pretty much see my hair thinner and not as think as it used to be. I even had a friend comment on how it looks different.

Now I keep hearing about weight loss and hair loss being linked, but I follow a strict and proper diet, take a multivitamin daily, and only take other natural supplements, such as CLA, flax seed, and fish oil.

Genetically, I don't see how that can affect me as my father is 89 and has a full head of hair.

Any ideas?

I believe male baldness is linked to your mother's side of the family so even though your father has a full head of hair - if your grandfather on your mother's side was bald, this may be where your hair loss is inherited.

Oh, and sometimes lifestyle change, stress, and losing weight too quickly can cause hair loss.

It can, but if stress/lifestyle change is the root cause of the hair loss, it will grow back. Unfortunately, mine was male pattern baldness. It sucks, but then again I'm not going to wear a rug or rub some overpriced medicine into my head in hopes of getting it back.

I've had the same problem. I just started college again for the year, so I assumed it was the combination of stress + dieting. Eh. It happens.

He is right. its more on your mothers side.

Same thing happened to me, I think mine is in my genes though. Just shave it off, you'll look badass if you have the correct shaped head for a shave. That's what I did. i'm 26.

Do you eat too much fish? Extremely high mercury levels can cause hair loss.

Can you lose body hair with fat loss?

I notice a lot of trim guys that show off their bodies have little or no body hair, and all of them can't be shaving. The reason I ask is I am a gorilla, and one of my rewards for hitting my weight loss goal is to get a tat. I'd like to get it on my mid, upper back, but what's the point if I have to shave every other day in the summer just to show it off? LOL

My other reward is to be fitted to a new suit.

[StrongEnough?]

Just because your father isn't bald, doesn't mean his father, or his father didn't have mail patern baldness. It's something that you cannot control. I have it too bro. Once you learn to except it, you learn to forget it

Never heard of loosing body hair as you get trimmer. I gaurantee you that most of the bodies you see that want to show it off are shaving before pics taken. Some people are blessed with little to no body hair. So it could be that too. I know alot of chinese people that can count 5 hairs on their chest. I am pretty damn close to that...lol Its just in the genes. I have some native american genes. So most have very scarse hair on the chest. You just don't see alot of hairy chested american indians

Damn you hairless ape!

Actually, that's just a myth. Both parents contribute equally to their offspring's likelihood of experiencing male pattern baldness.

Unfortunately, we know very little about the genes that cause male pattern
baldness. Though it is a commonly held belief, there is no convincing
evidence to suggest that this type of hair loss is inherited from the
mother. In fact, although many scientists claim that male pattern baldness
is caused by a defect in a single gene, it is likely that it is due to
abnormalities in several genes.

Yaaaaay! its my dad sides that balding, and my moms side has a full head of hair. Good news for me lol.

I'd wager that your hair loss is due to changes in your hormone levels from lifting and eating differently. Higher testosterone can spur hair loss if you are prone to it.

Consider getting some nirazol shampoo... it's amazing

How well does the nizoral work for you? I've done a search on it, but I wanted to get an opinion from you

[skelooth]

I still have all my hair

The real magic is that it cured me of dandruff and dry scalp.... all my life I used over priced T-Gel and/or head and shoulders... but my head was always a flakey mess.

I used nirazol twice and never had a flake since. Now I use it exclusively. It's GOOD shampoo. Leaves your hair very healthy looking too.

I just turned 17 and my hairline has gone back considerably in the last year, which is also when I stopped all junk food and lactose products and start exercising. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but just letting you know your not the only one.

[Future5oh]

i've seen people with either really low calorie diets or really low fat diets report symptoms of hair loss... my initial guess would have been to up your fat intake... then again i am not a doctor, just my 2 cents

[bigbutnothuge]

Nizoral is for dandruff. What does it have to do with balding?

[Sharkycom]

You know, my wife is having this same problem now. over the last week she has started to see her hair come out in clumps when brushing or running fingers through her hair. It's alarming to say the least, she has never had this problem before.

She's gone from 34+/-% bf to 18% since mid August. Her diet is lean, but very nutritious and she takes multi vitamin/fish oils/etc.

Anyone else have an idea other than it's hereditary. That is defintiely not her case here.

My dermatologist just gave me the prescription kind of nizoral for my dandruff. Hopefully it keeps me from going bald too.
