Accepted Answer

There is a possibility that your hair loss could be from your diet (iron deficiency) or it could be from another cause such as a thyroid disorder, hereditary hair loss, over styling, a scalp condition, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or even lupus.  Before just assuming it is your diet, you should give your doctor a call.  They will be able to examine you and possibly run some simple blood test to rule out non-diet related reasons for hair loss.  Many of these are treatable, so having the correct diagnosis is key!  good luck!
