I don't remember any hair loss until about 18 months ago and was diagnosed with under-active thyroid (known for causing hair loss). Now on thyroid medication so hoping it will stop. I agree with Juicyj that it is probably due to stress and hormones rather than low carbing.Did anyone experience hair loss?
I've had this problem too, and while I'm sorry you all have suffered from it, it is reassuring to hear that for most people it grows back.
I have been told hair lags around 3 months after physical health shocks, and this seems to have been the case for me - I started to feel unwell around February and starting noticing hair loss in May. I have lost about a lot of hair since then, and have found it very upsetting. The loss does seem to be slowing down though and I am hoping it will continue to improve (I was diagnosed in April this year, but thanks to a GP who treated my T1 with meds for T2 , I only started insulin in August).
In the meantime I am taking supplements (Forcapil was recommended to me - biotin, B vits and zinc), and trying to treat my hair as gently as possible. Would welcome any recommendations for products to improve volume!
Hello Strachan 1 I also had extreme hair loss my dearly beloved started on about buying a wig but luckily it stopped falling out and has nearly all returned.

I've been using Nioxin, which does seem to help, but I think when you're feeling better your hair will improve naturally.My hairdresser suggest Nioxin which will stop anymore falling out. I've been ill since March and my body has eaten away all my fat stores. Have started taking supplements too.
