You might not be able to completely avoid it, but you can support your body so the impact is less intense.
Here’s what actually helps:
1. Don’t crash your diet
Even if Ozempic is suppressing your appetite, make sure you’re still eating enough. Starving your body will only make things worse.
2. Focus on protein
Hair is made of protein (keratin), so if your intake drops, your hair suffers. Think eggs, lentils, paneer, nuts—simple stuff.
3. Check your nutrients
Iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D – all play a role in hair health. If you’re deficient, it shows up in your hair pretty quickly.
4. Be gentle with your hair
Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, or harsh treatments while your hair is already vulnerable.
5. Talk to a doctor
If the shedding feels extreme, it’s always a good idea to check in with a professional. Sometimes, supplements or adjustments can help.
