Hair thinning - anyone else?

Been on Mounjaro for just over 6 weeks and loving the appetite control, BUT I’ve noticed my hair is definitely thinning at the roots 😔 It’s making me feel really self-conscious... 👎 👎 

Has anyone else had this happen on Mounjaro? And more importantly – has anyone found anything that helps?

Appreciate any thoughts ❤️

Same here :(. Mine started around the 5-week mark. My hairdresser noticed it before I did 😬 Been using caffeine shampoo at their reco – can’t tell if it’s helping or placebo but it feels slightly better!

I’ve had issues with hair loss before and stress makes it worse too 😟 I started using rosemary oil – it’s meant to help regrowth.

Yep, me too. I lost weight really fast on Mounjaro and I think my body freaked out. Upping protein to 100g+ per day helped a bit. Collagen powder might be worth a shot.

Oh noooo, this was my biggest fear! I’ve been using Nutrafol and trying to eat more eggs, nuts, beans etc. I’m also tracking iron and zinc levels after a tip from my nutritionist.

You guys are amazing, thank you! I’ve not been great with protein so maybe that’s a factor. Will try upping that and looking into the oil and collagen too.
