How low iron causes hair loss
Hair follicles grow fast and need a steady supply of iron. When iron stores run low, the body saves iron for vital organs. Hair growth slows and more hairs shed.
Signs of iron deficiency hair loss
- More hair on your brush, pillow and shower drain
- Thinning all over the head rather than one patch
- Tiredness, pale skin or shortness of breath
- Heavy periods, recent pregnancy or a diet low in iron

Frequently asked questions
Will my hair grow back once my iron is normal?
In most cases, yes. Hair grows slowly, so expect to wait a few months after your iron recovers.
Should I take iron tablets for hair loss?
Only after a blood test. Too much iron can be harmful. Your doctor advises the right dose.
Which test shows low iron stores?
A ferritin test is commonly used to check iron stores. Your doctor may add other tests.

Would recommend them any day. They are such a friendly community, very warm and kind when it comes to their service delivery and do not get me started on the results! They do deliver on what they say and I am absolutely grateful for their support in growing my hair back to what it is today! They did make my dream come true, and finally I can get to embrace who I am fully when I look at myself in the mirror. Thank you so much Hair Hub!
I thank God that after 2 gruesome years of scalp psoriasis, I have finally found a solution that works like magic. This was only possible with the services I got from Hair Hub at Bemuda Plaza, after years of spending so much money on other hair products on the market, all in vain. The first consultation I had was with Celestine Gitau and 3 weeks later I can say without a doubt that I no longer have any flaking or itching of the scalp and the inflammation has since reduced drastically.
Customer service before the procedure was smooth and engaging. The experts handled everything very professionally. 10/10 would recommend.
Their Jet Peel PRP technology is on another level. My hair is gradually coming back. I am happy.
Top notch service. Customer education is precise.
