Answer 1

This could be a condition called Allopecia Areata. It can happen to anybody, at any time. Check out http://www.naaf.org for more information

Answer 2

You're going bald, plain and simple.

1 in 15 women do, and often from a very early age. But nobody ever talks about it. Think about it: did your maternal grandmother wear wigs or kerchiefs? It's usually an inherited trait along the mother's side. But if your own father is bald (or balding) then your chances of going bald yourself, as a woman, is upped by 37%.

The best thing you can do is to shave all the remaining hair off your head and apply twice-daily rubs of cod liver oil to the scalp. Also take plenty of B vitamins and STAY HYDRATED.

There's no need to panic. Lots of girls look hot with shaved heads, and you can cut the smell of the cod oil by spraying your head with Fabreeze.

When it grows back your hair should be thicker. At least for a while.

But you'd better get used to the fact that, by the time you're 30, you're going to look like a recent convict. But with the better, custom made wigs available from finer salons and/or creative scalp tattoos, you'll be every bit as pretty as the other girls.

Good luck.

Human's are like animals. We have to shed our underlayer of hair so to speak. In the summer & in the winter my hair comes out like crazy in the shower and in my brush... Nothing to worry about unless you start seeing bald spots.

And, Pantene doesn't make your hair fall out. I used it for a while and it made no difference. Another thing that might help, if you don't already do it, use a different brand of shampoo every 2-3 bottles... it keeps your hair healthier because it doesn't become used to one type and it helps keep it balanced.

Answer 4

Think about the type of hair products your using. Also are you more stressed than usual or are you getting stressed out? What type of brush are you using? Consider all those things. You could have some type of scalp fungus that comes from using other people combs and brushes. See a dermatologist about this matter if it worsens.

Answer 5

A checklist for you:
1. Do you have any vitamin deficiencies-such as iron, thymine etc. this could cause hair loss
2. Check to see that your hormone levels (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is normal): abnormal levels of this cause hair to become brittle(split-ends etc) and fall off
3. Try not to use shampoos,conditioners/gels etc for some time to see if your hair-loss decreases
4. When using the blowdryer, make sure you maintain a suitable distance between it and the hair so the hair doesn't get singed/burned.

Answer 6

Is it getting long? My hair is thick and I know the longer it grows the more I feel like it's coming out more. Know other people who feel the same way to. Even shorter my thick hair still sheds like crazy, but not quite as much.

If it's not coming out in clumps or you don't notice it when you look in the mirror, then you are probably fine.

Answer 7

There have been a few times in my life that due to stress my hair fell out a LOT. When the stess let up then the hair loss stopped. Also, a few months after I had my daughter my hair fell out in handfulls-I was so upset I called my doctor right away. He said it was normal.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Sometimes our hair may fall out more often than other times. There are several reasons that out hair comes out, lack of proper rest,
improper eating habits, lack of enough vitamins,
stress,and even worry. If this seems to become a real problem, your local doctor should be able to help you with medicine.
