How to Prevent Hair Loss after Weight Loss Surgery
By Janet Ford, eHow Contributor updated: January 5, 2010Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Nioxin Shampoo
- Nioxin Conditioner
- Protein Sources
- Vitamins
- Biotin
- Silica
-
1
Make sure you get your protein in every day. Hair is made up of protein. Your body is not able to take in as much as it used to so your body is losing hair, as usual, but it may not be able to generate new hair follicles if you don't get in enough protein. Instead, what protein you do get in will go to more important bodily needs. Work towards getting 80 grams of protein a day.
-
2
Massage your scalp daily. This gets the circulation going, which encourages hair growth.
-
3
Wash your hair with Nioxin shampoo & conditioner. This is the only shampoo formulated to nurture the scalp itself.
-
4
Avoid chemically altering your hair in any way (perming, coloring, etc) as this weakens the hair and causes it to become more brittle.
-
5
Take all your vitamins, as your doctor prescribes. Some other supplements that are known to be beneficial are:
Iron
Zinc
Biotin
Silica
Vitamin A
Folate
B6
Consulting with your doctor or nutritionist will unveil for you if these supplements should be considered in your individual situation. Pay attention to these ingredients in your diet as well but always keep protein as your number one priority.

Hair Loss Due to Weight Loss Surgery
By Tiesha Whatley, eHow ContributorAfter weight-loss surgery, hair loss can result from the stress and trauma of the surgery as well as from the shock to the body from rapid weight loss. A third of patients who had gastric-bypass surgery have reported experiencing hair loss. A patient may experience hair loss three to nine months after the surgery and some have reported losing half of their hair during this time. There are several things that patients can do to try to prevent hair loss and to get it to grow back.
- To help prevent hair loss after weight-loss surgery, eat plenty of protein, which is recommended by doctors as a person loses weight rapidly. Go for lean protein, like white-meat chicken and green, leafy vegetables. Add raw vegetables and fruits to the diet to supply the body with efficient vitamins to lose weight and grow hair.
You can also try vitamin supplements. Biotin is one supplement that helps to restore hair and renew hair-cell generation. This will increase the hair's growth rate, where the hair loss won't be so drastic. Zinc has also been successful. - To quickly regrow the hair, incorporate a healthy diet, exercise, vitamins and proper hair care into your lifestyle. Worrying about the lost hair will only cause more stress that will eventually lead to more hair loss.
Add regular exercise to your daily regimen. Try to get in at least a 30-minute walk every day, which will jump-start your metabolism and stimulate your thyroid. That in turn releases hormones into your body that stimulates hair growth.
Incorporate Mediterranean-style eating into your diet. Olive oil and grapes provide essential vitamins for hair growth. You can also massage your scalp with olive and grapeseed oils to increase circulation and generate hair growth.
Vitamins that help the hair grow are A, B-Complex, Iron, Folic Acid, C, E, D and Biotin. These vitamins stimulate hair growth, increase the oxygen and moisture supplied to the hair roots and eliminate toxins from the body to provide a safe environment for healthy hair to grow.
For hair care, shampoo and condition the hair regularly. Do deep conditioning, protein and moisturizing treatments on the hair every two weeks. Do not use heated styling tools more than once a week. Tie the hair down with a silk or satin scarf before going to bed. Keep the hair moisturized by applying a serum or moisturizer to the hair, not the scalp. Applying excessive products to the scalp may hinder hair growth by clogging the pores.
