Why is my hair falling out? Is it my weight loss?

I have lost about 55 pounds since March of this year. I've noticed that my hair is falling out...a lot! What can I do to prevent this? I've been taking a multi-vitamin. Other than that, I don't know what to do. Do you think it will grow back? Am I undernourished?Why is my hair falling out? Is it my weight loss?
Everyone loses between 40 %26amp; 120 strands a day, depending on how much hair you have, your age %26amp; your hair's growth cycle. People with fine hair tend to have more of it %26amp; therefore will lose more of it than their thicker-haired sisters %26amp; brothers. Your hair also thins as you get older, particularly after menopause for women, but the thinning will stop %26amp; not continue as it will for men.





Here are some factors to take into consideration for common hairloss:





1. Seasonality. You'll lose the most hair in the fall -- typically November and December when hair reaches maturity in its growth cycle.





2. Diet. Hair loss can occur through poor dieting, tight ponytails, even with age.





3. Pregnancy Some women experience hair loss with pregnancy or as part of post-pregnancy hormonal changes. Other women experience hair loss when going on or off (usually off) the birth control pill.





4. Illness Sometimes it happens as a result of illness. Even stress, excessive weight loss, iron deficiency %26amp; thyroid problems can cause hair loss.





If you're really worried, ask your doctor. I hope that this helps~Why is my hair falling out? Is it my weight loss?
Hiya hun the stress of dieting and losing weight can cause hairloss and other problems but well done for keeping up the good work ...i cant diet to save my life
Are you on a no carb/low carb low fat diet?


if so, our bodies need carbs and fats, and hair falling out could be a sign of not enough nutrients...
Did you have a baby not long ago? Women go through a hair losing process about three months after having a baby.
Are you by any chance getting the depo short for birth control? I found this is a major reason women are losing their hair. It does grow back if this is the case but you must get the depo out of your system.
Not sure what you need to do about it ..but it happened me too I lost a lot of weight over a period of time and I noticed my hair thinned out
