I lost a fair amount of hair the first time I LC'ed (1999), and unfortunately it never grew back to the thickness it once had. However, this time I've had no hair loss at all...if anything, I seem to have a bit more hair these days. I attribute this to:

a) slower weight loss than last time resulting in less shock to the body. I lost 23 lbs in about 4 weeks before, and right after that my hair started falling out in droves.

b) I am taking supplements this time--nothing specifically for hair, but again, I think that giving myself adequate nutrients is preventing stress on the body.

Then again, my hair is just fine but my TOM has been an absolute mess. Maybe the stress is just happening further south this time.
