Vitamin D does in fact aide in hair strength and growth. Your hair grows faster in the summer months, ever notice this?
Being sooo low I'd actually get something like a 10,000IU pill and start taking that at the recommended dosage with a follow up VitD screen in a few months. Is that what they gave you?
I personally take a 1000 IU VitD every day. Most people don't get enough anyway, depends entirely upon how much sun they get every day. People in the northern states don't get enough in general.
Ignore the FDA 400 IU on a pill. Thats low and outdated. When its revised they will probably say the RDA is closer to 1000.

From what I've been reading, vitamin D is very important to hair follicles and a deficiency can cause hair loss.
Hopefully correcting that will take care of everything.

Also I forgot to add that, my vitamin D levels still remain below the normal range.. my body for whatever reason (dunno if it's just me or the drugs) won't stabilize my vitamin D. I've read acid inhibitors like prilosec stop not just stomach acid but all the acid like folic acid needed in the head etc. I haven't had that tested, i'm just aware of what all the other people in prilosec forums say about how they've lost their hair because of the drug and that everyone should get off it asap. sigh.

Also , I wanted to share my cowlick from when I was 23, which was 5 years ago. That was always there. Whatever has happened, you can see it grew from my pre-existing cowlick which I've always had.

I forgot to add that I am no longer on the Acid Blocker "Prilosec". Getting off of it has made numerous other problems stop, and my body once again absorbs vitamins into it, so though I am still Vitamind D and now Vitamin B 12 deficient as well, I should be able to correct it now. Hopefully a positive direction with my hair as well.
