I lost 8 pounds on a low carb diet. i feel great about that but my hair has been breaking lately.does the low carb diet has something to do with that?

Hair quality can be: impacted by low oleic acid in your system. Make sure you are taking in enough good fats such as marine fish oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. Trust butter over margarine. See a dermatologist for further help. Pece and good health. Avocados too!
