I can only speak from experience, but my hair dresser also put in her two cents...

When I lost the bulk of my weight, hair did fall out, but not in clumps. I still had hair and kept on coloring and cutting, etc.

One thing I have noticed is my hair has become extremely dry. My hairdresser says I need to make sure I'm eating enough nutrients to keep it looking lush. She said she's seen this in many of her clients who go through weight loss surgery.

Just make sure you're taking your Vitamins (I"m not good at that...) and using good products.

Biotin will be in the Vitamin section. It is a little pill. :) Lots of people take it including myself. Does it actually work? Don't know yet as I just started taking it.

Biotin, found in the Vitamin dept (a B Vitamin). I get 5000 mg. Look for tick tack size gel caps. Look for buy one get one free sales. I was loosing hair. It seemed to stop once I started taking Biotin not sure if it stopped it or not. Does also help your nails.

Biotin is good for your hair and nails. BUT it does cause acne. I couldn't take it.

It's never caused acne for me, and I take 5-7 mgs (or whatever the unit is) of it daily. My nails have never been so strong. It has definitely helped the Hair loss, too. But if I miss a day I notice it in my hair fallout.
