Matt Z 4,139 Posted September 5, 2018 Ok, so this might be a little odd since pretty much all the posts about "hair" are about Hair loss, so far, a few weeks shy of 6 months and I haven't had any hair loss. I have noticed *MORE* Hair or at least the appearance if more hair... body hair. Has anyone else noticed that their body hair appears to have increased? I read that it might be pore density, which sounds plausible at least, the whole, same amount of hair folicles/pores that are now closure together due to the weight loss. Anyone else have any thoughts, insight, comments, experiences with the appearance of more body hair? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reductions in estrogen from fat loss will cause the ratio of estrogen to testosterone to change. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bari_KS 499 Posted September 5, 2018 It could be effect of biotine (if you take one). Biotine promotes Hair growth.< br>Looking forward to my VSG! 1 clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
