Hair and Nails... connection?

I know this may sound crazy. But I have been noticing for the last three months (I've been low carbing 6 months now) and I am puzzled by this:
My hair and nails seem to be growing at twice the speed than what they did before.

Examples:
I dye my hair (I admit it) and I notice that my roots show a half inch within a week. Also I have been losing more hair than normal but my hair is no thinner (Its actually thick).
As for my nails, I grow about 1/4 of an inch a week, so I'm trimming often.
I'm healing fast as well.

Are these related? Or am I just being silly?
