Hiya! This does happen sometimes. And basically there's nothing you can do--it will pass, and your hair will most likely come back in fuller and healthier than ever.

You see, any time our bodies go through a huge trauma or stress, it's not uncommon for our hair to start falling out within the next couple of months. I did that every time I had a child, and had a double-whammy of it a few years ago after going through a super stressful time with my husband being sick, then giving birth a few months later.

For some people, the carb withdrawal causes the body enough stress to do this, and that's why it does sometimes happen on this WOE. Don't worry, though as it's a temporary thing.
