Kyle Richards’ look-alike daughter Sophia Umansky stunned fans with graphic images of hair loss after taking a weight-loss medication.
“I am very lucky that I have so much hair, because at the rate that I’ve been losing hair, I’m gonna be bald in about a week,” the brunette beauty said during a TikTok shared Wednesday.
“I started Mounjaro about four months ago, and I would say like maybe for the past three weeks to a month, I’ve noticed a dramatic hair loss situation,” she explained.
Sophia is the third daughter of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, and the second daughter of three that Richards shares with her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky.
Though she wore her long, shiny hair down around her shoulders for the clip, she had shocking imagery for her followers.
“I’m just going to show you a quick little video of what my hair loss looks like, and this is every day,” the “Buying Beverly Hills” personality, 25, said. “And you’re not even seeing the half of it.”
She proceeded to show clumps of hair around the drain and sticking to the walls of her shower, explaining that the reality is “a lot worse” than it looks since the video only shows the before and after of her showers.
She demonstrated that when she pulls her hand through her hair during the day, “piles” of hair come out.
Sophia explained that she doesn’t think the extreme hair loss is a “direct result of the medication.”
“I think it’s a direct result of rapid weight loss because of the medication, and not eating enough vitamins, protein, all that kind of stuff.”
She added that she’s been “putting an effort into” taking vitamins and eating protein in order to correct the problem.
Sophia told her fans that to combat hair loss she’s also using OMI hair growth peptides and has been taking collagen as well as Grüns vitamins.

Her followers had mixed reactions in the comments thread.
“Oh noooo that’s too much hair loss babe,” exclaimed a fan in part, while another commented, “It’s disturbing to see the amount that falls out.”
Others praised Sophia for being honest about her issue with hair loss. “Well done for being transparent,” wrote a fan, with another suggesting, “protein protein protein.”
Still, others suggested seeing a doctor. “Please get your thyroid checked out… probably a obvious answer but those issues can get undiagnosed for a long time,” remarked a follower.
