      I air dry 99% of the time. I use heat protectant such as grape seed oil. Lately in addition, I have used the SheaMoisture Jbco styling Lotion

Can weight loss medication cause hair loss?

Nutrient Deficiencies : Weight loss medications that suppress appetite or alter how your body absorbs nutrients (e.g., orlistat) might lead to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals like biotin, zinc, iron, or protein, which are crucial for healthy hair growth. 2.

Hormonal Changes : Some medications may indirectly affect hormone levels, which could impact hair growth cycles. 4. Specific Drug Effects : Certain medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide), may list hair loss as a rare side effect due to changes in metabolic o...
