Excess body fat can disrupt hormones like ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ช๐ก๐๐ฃ, ๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐ค๐๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ค๐กl. This may trigger telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding) or worsen hair thinning.

Obesity is linked to ๐ก๐ค๐ฌ-๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ, which can weaken hair follicles, shorten the growth phase and increase shedding.
