I am having the same problem so I was told to take flax seed. You can get the small seeds and sprinkle them on your food or they make it in an oil which I mix with my protein drink each morning and after about 2 weeks I am noticing a slight difference. It has a nutty flavor so I mix it with chocolate boost which is very creamy and it goes down pretty good.
Hang in there!

This was on a post on smartbansters and was said by Jessie:

The reason your hair is falling out is because you are losing weight. It's very common with any form of weight loss. It is not a shortage of protein, biotin, estrogen or anything else. It's just a side effect of weight loss. It will last a month or two and all your hair will grow back. Nobody has ended up bald yet --except for the guys who started out bald. Take a multi-vitamin every day, eat your protein first, use gentle hair care products and be patient.

Sometimes people have hair loss from any anesthesia, any trama, child birth, and occasionally people even have another disease or scalp condition. If your hair loss is severe and doesn't resolve in 6-8 weeks consult with a doctor or dermatologist. Usually by the time you notice it the hair is growing back. If you look right at the hair line you can see a little fuzz coming in. Hair loss related to losing weight is temporary, self-limiting and completely reversible. It really will be OK but it's perfectly normal to freak out about it.

I didn't. I take multi-vitamins, flaxseed oil, and vitamin E every day. Perhaps that has helped.
