Remember you lose an anverage of 100 hairs a day. Because previously you haven't been conditioning your hair, it means you've left the hair open and this means anything that has happened, the cuticle has taken the main punishment!
I'd recommend an intensive protein treatment to help rectify the damage that has been done, such as L'anza Trauma Treatment. When you shampoo you open the cuticle and when you condition you close the cuticle. You should always close down the cuticle. I hope this helps :)

It is normal to lose 100 strands of hair a day, so you may be just paranoid, but if you really believe it is falling out, you are lacking something in your diet. It sounds like a vitamin deficiency, and only your doctor can help you with that. Good luck.

Hair loss or baldness is caused mainly due to the lack of Vitamin B supplements. Vitamin B5 contains pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin that is vital for hair growth). B6 is equally important to the body, as it contains the nutrients of zinc, sulfur, magnesium and biotin.
An interesting fact about Vitamin B: Certain experiments were conducted with rats and they were fed with food that lacked magnesium supplements. It was found that they lost their hair in bunches and when they were provided with a low biotin diet they turned hairless. But to the surprise of all, their hair returned when they were fed with food rich in Vitamin B. Similar studies were conducted on men and it was found that Vitamin B enriches the quality of hair.The body also requires Vitamin A. Fatty acids such as primrose oil, flaxseed oil or salmon oil need to be consumed for enhancing hair growth.
Vitamin E is meant for stimulating the oxygen intake in the body and improves the blood circulation. If there is proper blood circulation, hair growth is enhanced. Vitamin C assists the normal functioning of capillaries that carries the blood to the scalp. Even zinc is an important supplement, which should be consumed as it assists hair growth.
Biotin is necessary for hair growth. There are many sources of biotin such as brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. It is present in some shampoos, so you can use shampoos, which contain biotin. It is advised to consult a physician before taking any vitamins or medications for hair growth
Try this:
1.Massage the scalp for 10 to 15 minutes after bathing with water. This stimulates the blood circulation and strengthens the hair follicles in the scalp.
2.Massage the scalp and hair with coconut milk or Aloe Vera gel. Leave it for ½ hour, then rinse with warm water. Repeat 3 times a week
3.Massage into the scalp and hair honey with egg yolk. Leave for a 1/2 hour, then rinse.
4.Massage almond oil on scalp 2-3 times a day, daily. This will stop further hair loss.
5.Rinse hair with a mix of apple cider vinegar and sage tea to help hair grow.
Take care!

First off it's somewhat normal for people to lose moderate amounts of hair. If you notice significant amounts of thinning I suggest you consult a dermatologist immediately, maybe one specializing in hair and scalp disorder. For women, hair loss can be influenced by a number of factors. Stress is one cause common in women, which is not a know cause of hair loss in men.
I manage a blog called BattleAgainstBald.com, which documents the progress of the hair restoration surgery I underwent several months ago. In addition to pictures and video of the results, I provide a wealth of information on hair loss and methods for correcting it. It also has a whole section geared specifically to women suffering from hair loss.
Best of Luck To You!
