I lost 50 lbs within 11 months, but now hair is thinning on top of head..does rapid weight loss cause hair los?

Im 26, beginning about 2 months ago for the first time in my life i noticed that i can start seeing my scalp through my hair in the light!!! prior to this i had lost 50 lbs within id say 10 - 11 months..(vigirous excercise, supplements, not eating as much junk, etc). wel i feel great because of that, but now my hair is thinning on the top and im really scared that it wont grow back!





could this rapid weight loss have caused this hair thinning ?? or do u tink i was going to lose my hair anyways and coincidentally it just started showing a few months after all my weight loss??





TIMELINE: (25 years old) i started actively trying losing weight. 11 months later i am 50 lbs lighter (from 185 now at 135). about 3 - 4 months later i start noticeing this thinning on the top of my head (for the first time in my life). ive never had issues with hair thinning EVER before (im 26 now), and i dont know if it runs in my genetics because i was adopted.





So will i be lucky and it will start growing back to its original fullness? or am i SOL?/ im really scared ive always had a full head of hair but now its sort of noticable! it comes out when i am in the shower , shampooing it, running my hand through it..when i go to style it etc..


i have dyed it before on a semi regular basis but now i dont. i also put a little gel in it. but again, ive never had this problem in all 26 years of my life up until 3 months ago when i began noticing this. if this is the sacrifice i have to make for the weight loss..then id rather be 180 lbs like i was b4 and get my hair back!! im 5' 9' too.I lost 50 lbs within 11 months, but now hair is thinning on top of head..does rapid weight loss cause hair los?
Your diet shouldn't better than before. If you follow a healthy diet there is no link between hair-loss and diet. It is simply time that is catching up with you. I know what it feels like. When I started balding I thought it was the end of life. Now I accept it, after many expensive treatments. Lately there is something like propecia on the market though. I hope you are OK. If it happens it is not the end of the world. It is not something we choose. It just happens. At least you wont be fat abd bald. Thin bald guys do look very good, Just don't do a comb-over that is just grose.
