Is hair loss a symptom of folic acid deficiency?

Hair and folic acid: Hair loss is not the first symptom that you think of with Folic Acid deficiency; nor is Folic Acid on the list of deficiencies or causes that you would associate with hair loss.

Hair loss: Hair loss may occur in those with dietary disorders, iron deficiency, hypothyroidism, low estrogen states. I am not aware of Folic Acid as an individual cause.
