No. Not when I became vegetarian.Has anyone else experienced hair loss when going vegetarian?
It will kill me to have to eat meat again, but I'm pretty vain and I need my hair.
However, I did notice hair loss once when I was under a lot of stress and not eating well, (before I became vegetarian) and unintentionally lost a fair amount of weight.
So your hair loss could be related to the weight you've lost, which ironically has happened since you started eating more regularly.
I don't think your hair would be affected that quickly from only going vegetarian a month ago. Might be, as I already posted, connected to your weight loss.I'm 44. My hair only started falling out when I went vegetarian a month ago. I don't eat any soy though. I could try getting some tofu and see if that helps. I take a multivitamin along with calcium/magnesium.
But more likely related to all the stress you dealt with last fall with your health issues. Hair generally takes longer than a month to show affects of stress, nutrition issues, etc.
Here's an excerpt from Can stress cause hair loss? - Grow Gorgeous
How long does it take for hair to grow back after stress?
The total hair loss and re-growth cycle often lasts around 6 months. 3 months for the signs of thinning due to stress to show and then 3 months for the hair to start growing back and returning to it’s normal thickness.
