Hellistile,

I happened to be reading an old thread earlier today about hair loss on induction, and some people seemed to have good results with biotin supplements. There is also a GNC supplement called Women's Skin, Hair & Nails, or something like that, which has some biotin in it.

Don't know if it's hormonal, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were. Are you in menopause? Because some menopausal women on the hair thread were talking about thinning hair. Seems hair loss on Atkins is pretty common.
