For many, bariatric surgery is a life-changing step — a courageous decision to take control of their health, energy, and future. But while the number on the scale goes down, some women are left facing something they weren’t prepared for:
Hair loss.
It often begins around the 3–6 month mark post-surgery. Strands thin out. Edges fade. And what was supposed to be a journey toward confidence suddenly becomes one of frustration, confusion, and insecurity.
The most common reason? Nutritional deficiencies, especially in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which play a critical role in keeping hair follicles healthy and active. After surgery, the body is focused on healing and adjusting — and sometimes, hair takes a temporary back seat.
But when your hair is falling out in handfuls, it doesn’t feel temporary. It feels personal.
At La’ Wig, we’ve had the privilege of helping clients who’ve gone through bariatric surgery and are now navigating this unexpected chapter. Some arrive feeling defeated — embarrassed to talk about the hair loss, unsure if they’ll ever feel like themselves again.
But here’s the truth: You’re not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck in hiding.
We offer glueless full lace and frontal wigs that look incredibly natural, feel lightweight, and are easy to wear — even as your body continues to change. You can measure your head at home, choose the density and texture that reflects you best, and get a private, high-quality experience without glue, tape, or damage to your scalp.
Whether you’re a few months out from surgery or a few years into your journey, La’ Wig is here to remind you that your transformation doesn’t stop at weight loss — it continues with confidence.
Our Houston and Dallas stores have closed, but we continue to serve women across the country and beyond through our online experience and stylist partners. Wherever you are, we’ll meet you there — with care, respect, and a wig that truly fits you.
