Hi

Have a look at www.nutrihair.co.uk - hair loss can be a symptom of low iron levels. A blood test which tests for serum ferritin levels can determine if hair loss could be due to lack of iron. I took the supplements recommended for three months, my hair is fine now but I am not sure if the supplements were effective or the hair loss just ran it's course. I stopped taking the pill and 8 weeks later had substantial hair loss, either starting the pill or stopping it can cause hair loss, in fact any hormonal changes can, ie after having a baby. I did wonder if it was connected to low carbing but I can't really be sure because of the time scale.
