Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Hair fall due to low iron stores is quite common.The exact relation between serum ferritin and hair loss is quite controversial. It is advisable to have a serum ferritin level of more than 100 to have good hair growth.
You could also take biotin 5 mg orally everyday which will strengthen the hair roots.
Have a good diet rich in green leafy vegetables and dates.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
