    Ive been experiencing the same issue. I have started taking enhanced collagen powder and biotan supplements. It's only been a month but the shedding seems to be slowing down.

    My first time on Keto I lost handfuls of hair but it was also low fat and low carb. Lost weight fast but felt crappy. This time I have not noticed hair loss. Eating very low carb but lots of fat and protein. Also hair loss is very often hormone driven so pregnancy, menopause, stress, and other things that affect hormones can also affect hair loss

    I started taking MSM some time ago for carpal tunnel - it definitely seems to have made my hair thicker and healthier...not sure if that would help with your hair issues, but it's a relatively cheap supplement.

    For me, eating protein and taking a supplement to cover minerals/vitamins etc in main meal helps a lot. Lots of green veg too! I rotate between sprouts, kale, spinach and broccoli. Also eat a red pepper as a snack. Hair feels great lately.
    I do think the initial shock to your body when you start keto has an effect too.
