Could hard water (high iron) cause hair loss?

Asked By:Sarah87189

I moved to a new house in June of 2017 and since then have experienced hair shedding, major re growth and these random white/translucent hairs that grow in. I also noticed the same type of shedding and regrowth and white hairs are also occurring to my six year old, two year old and husband. The community where I live has also come forward about unexplained hair loss. My water testing was normal - . Iron was at .308. Mg/l which is slightly elevated and ph is 8.04. What could be causing this?
