How to avoid hair loss after gastric bypass surgery?

Hair loss after a weight loss surgery is normal and is also temporary. It lasts up to the 6th month after the surgery. Once a patient is nourished properly, there is no change in hair condition comparing the time a year before and after the surgery (sometimes hair condition improves thanks to the balanced diet and supplementation). To minimize hair loss, patients should take biotin and use a shampoo that is based on proteins. The other tips for preventing or reducing hair loss are: reducing washing hair to max 2-3 times a week, refraining from hair-coloring, weaving, or braiding, using good-quality hair conditioners.
