How important is Ferritin for Hair fall

Question

Asked for Female, 24 Years

In a earlier blood test ferritin was low. probably that caused extreme hair loss and iron tablets had reduced hair fall rate drastically. Once I had stopped medicine, hair fall has increased again and this time same medicine is not able to reduce hair fall although it has been 18 days since started 2nd round. How long does it take to get ferritin level back? I had blood test 6 months ago, shall I do it again? to ensure hair fall is due ferritin only and not something else. Thanks in advance.
