1. Do you brush too hard? A lot of people with thick curly hais do that. So, if you do, then try and be a bot more gentle.
2. Do you shed more in a particular season/ surrounding/ location? If yes, get yourself tested for allergies.
3. Try and stop using the relaxer for sometime. See if that makes a difference.
4. Oil your hair (pref use an oil with vitamin E) every alternate day, and wash the next morning.
5. Try mending your eating habits. Sometimes oily/ rich/ spicy food can cause hair loss. Shift to fruits/ salads/ soups for sometime.
6. Mend your biological clock. sleep on time rise on time, excerise a bit - and eat well (and healthy)
Hope this helps.

I am part Native American, so I too have very thick hair. However, my hair is mostly wavy and not curly. I have the same problem that you have with my hair falling out in large amounts and finding it everywhere, My hair does not look damaged and is also healthy, but the falling out hair has been a problem.

Well it could be lots of things,...
A) your biochemistry has developed an allergy to the "relaxant" that you use on your hair.
B) Something in your environment is affecting your physiology, and your body is reacting in a negative way. For example, toxic fumes, gases, or solids you've been exposed to. Some homes have been found to vent something called "Dioxins" which are detrimental to humanoids. The EPA does recommend that homeowners have detectors in their homes for dioxin contaminants.
C) There is something in your diet that your body is allergic to or has developed an allergy too.
D) Have you consulted a physician, perhaps you can get a Skin & Hair specialist to run tests.
E) Do you have a family history of premature hair loss, if this is the case, then there is no remedy. If its in your genes, its either your mom's or your dad's side of the family that is to blame.
What ever the situation, perhaps its time to look into getting into wigs as an alternative or simply looking on the brightside, at least you won't have to trouble yourself with the excessive fussings of hair fashions, and the expense of the maintenence of hair care.
Actually some women do look more sophisticated as well as more dignified without the trappings of Hair fashions. Its all in your own values. How you adapt to changes and how you come to terms with them.
Good luck sweetie
mahalo!!

Stop brushing your hair so much, this causes your hair to stretch and snap off. Get an extra wide tooth comb and a natural bristle brush. Brush only to smooth it down, just a few strokes.
