A link has been identified between restrictive diets and certain weight loss medications with hair thinning and loss. This occurs when the body rapidly loses fat and muscle, leading to a caloric deficit. As a result, the body prioritizes essential survival functions, neglecting the needs of the hair.

When the body focuses on more vital functions, the nutrients necessary for hair health don’t reach it in sufficient amounts, leading to hair loss. It's important to consult a specialist before starting any diet or weight loss treatment to avoid side effects and receive proper nutritional guidance.
