My hair is falling out. What kind of shampoo or other things can I do to prevent more loss? I'm 22?

Answer 1

go to your doctor or dermatologist.... I had the same problem and I'm 23 I tried using some shampoo's that stores sell and it made it worse...

Answer 2

It's perfectly normal to lose hair each day (though I don't know the average number of strands), so I'd only worry if it's coming out in clumps or is seriously damaged. If damage is what's causing your hair to fall out, I suggest using Stephen Knoll's Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Use it daily and then use his hair mask (don't remember what it's called) once a week. You'll see a difference immediately. Start wearing a satin cap to bed or sleeping on a satin pillowcase (or both), this way your hair isn't getting caught in the cotton and breaking. Also try not to use too much heat at once - a blow dryer followed by a curling/flat iron can wreak havoc on your strands!

Answer 3

first of all, we drop an average of 60-100 strands of hair per day. at your age, u wun hav a permanent hairloss.There's also a possiblilty of hormones change which is temporary. You can try Lorael Kerastase Prevention for the shampoo and the tonic to apply after every hair wash. Just this 2, no extra(the stylist might intro u another package which is more expensive).

Answer 4

Here's what you gotta do:

1. Get a vitamin E capsule (most of them comes in gel capsule form that has a liquid inside. Any brand will do.)
2. Get a needle and pop the capsule.
3. Now get your shampoo bottle and put the liquid vitamin E inside the bottle.
4. Mix the bottle.
5. Use your shampoo.


You'll notice that your hair will grow faster compared before. Trust me, this works. :) I also do this myself. :)


If you have virgin coconut oil at home, you can use this as well. Put it on hair and leave it for at least 30 minutes (You can do this at least 3x a day). Then rinse it off using your shampoo. The VCO can act as your hair lengthener and as your conditioner. :) Goodluck! :)

Answer 5

If it is stress related or genetic Nioxin is the best you can buy. However, it could be something else. Most prescriptions are cheaper than that shampoo and conditioner. Go to a doctor. Your scalp is an extension of what is going on inside, if its off balance there is a chance something needs to be checked up on.

Answer 6

mm. i say you should stop using whatever brand you're using now.
if you're hair's dry, then use the shampoo and conditioner that would help it. if it's not dry, then don't use the shampoo for dry hair cuz that is adding oil to your scalp, and that will clog up the hair follicals, making it hard for your hair to stay put and hard for more hair to grow.
eat healthier.
sleep more.
drink a lot of water.
and from time to time, do a handstand to get the blood flowing to the brain. it's a yoga trick.
if you can't do a handstand, then lie upside down on your bed to get the blood flowing.
oh...and maybe you should clean your hairbrush or change it.

Answer 7

I have the same problem.
mine started when I was about 25
first, get your thyroid checked.
your doc can do that with a blood test
then, if everythings normal with results, go to a dermatologist.
they will check for female pattern baldness-does anyone in your family have thinning/bald head of hair
ask to get a prescription for minoxidil 5%, they sell this in 2%, and 4% over the counter, but these aren't strong enough
eat a balanced diet, drink lots of water, massage your head daily, don't put hair in severe ponytails/hairstyles, and try not to let stress effect you!
Best of luck!

Answer 8

Usually, loss of hair can mean you're not getting enough iron in your diet. Stress is also a factor, I hate to say. You can take a supplement called Biotin, Folic Acid, and before considering an Iron tablet; please see your Doctor. You're pretty young to be losing your hair. It's probably a simple thing; try the supplements, stay away from stress and put more iron in your diet. Good luck:)

Answer 9

It's not uncommon to find a B12 deficiency in women who suffer hair loss. BIOTIN (a vitamin) is also essential for hair growth- it's a major component in the natural hair manufacturing process and is essential to not only grow new hair, but it also plays a major role in the overall health of skin and nails. You can buy BIOTIN at any drug store in the vitamin section.
