You might need more. I would check with a doc. Maybe some iron infusions will help. I have alopecia, and when i started taking daily iron (with orange juice) I started seeing hair regrowth, but it took a few months. But be warned, not sure how old you are, but I stopped taking iron because it made my cholesterol shoot up. All the hair fell out again.
There is a liquid food based iron you can get at healthfood stores, and try eating more iron rich foods.
You may also want to explore other reasons for low iron, are you heavily menstruating? Have had a colonoscopy?

That may be psychosomatics. I strongly recommend to check the psycho-emotional background.
