One reason for hairfall is Anemia , it is better to check your Hemoglobin levels though you are taking Iron supplements. There are other types of Anemia other than Iron deficiency Anemia. Hairfall can be due to other problems also like diabetes , thyroid disorders , or some connective tissue disorder. It may be due to local problems also like dandruff, fungal infections etc
