Hair loss

I've been vegan for a little over a year now and I'm having problems with my hair.
When I went vegan I had a 4 month old baby and was in the middle of my postpartum hair loss that I have experienced after each pregnancy. Normally by a year later my hair has started coming back in thicker and returning to normal but at this point I am still either losing hair or it isn't growing back in.
My stylist said that diet changes can cause hairloss but that once your body adjusts usually things will balance back out.
Has anyone else experienced problems with hair loss after being vegan for awhile? I have had my thyroid and other blood levels checked and they are all normal. I'm worried I am missing something dietarily.
Not liking being bald. :(
I've struggled with hair loss too but becoming vegan has actually helped it. part of my problem was anemia. I wasn't getting enough Iron. might I also suggest to try and get some vitamin suppliments. the B vitamins are good for your hair. make sure you take B12 and also biotin. hope it helps
