what is causing this?

Question

i have a problem with my hair falling out. im only 18 and when i take a shower my hair falls out like crazy. and also when i brush my hair even when it dry. and i dont brush it that much because im afraid that it is all going to come out. does anybody know what can help it not fall out as much?

Answer 1

try a good conditioner and dont use the curlers or blow dyer to much

Answer 2

It may be as something as harmless as not using conditioner. However, it could be from a medical problem: underactive thyroid, diabetes and other illnesses cause hair loss. Try adding a root strengthening condition such as Pantene Restoratives for a month and see if that helps.

Answer 3

It can't be leukemia like a previous answerer said. You lose your hair from the treatments, not the cancer itself. I would talk to your mother or somebody to see what you can do about it. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure it can be fixed easily.

Answer 4

nioxin and rogaine kit
prenatal vitamins u don't have to be pregnant to take those vitamins
reduce as much stress as possible
eat less junk food , eat healthy veggies fruits and fish, chicken , redmeat get some kind of protein in your diet

Answer 5

Okay...
That's kind of disturbing.
It depends on how much of it falls out.
If it's as much as a tennis ball, you might have cancer.
If it's a few strands, get over t. It grows back over night- really.
If there are bald spots all over your head--- see a doctor

Answer 6

try hot oil treatments this will relax your hair and add moisturizer to it thus keeping your hair from breaking off

Answer 7

You need prenatal vitamins.

Answer 8

Well, you could have luekemia but other than that just tell it to a doctor or a parent or a close friend and they might know what to do.
