This happened to me a few years back. Sometimes your body has a type of allergic/immune response that causes your hair to fall out. It can involve some or all of it. I lost a half-dollar size patch on my head. In that case it was considered alopecia areata. I had cortisone injections every week into my scalp, which hardly hurt at all, and it cleared up in a few months. I have a great had of hair now. BTW, there's no sure-fire casue for this, it just happens. Go see a dermatologist.

Go to the DR. Have them check your thyroid, falling out hair is one of the symptoms. They could do a blood screen to see if you are anemic too, or lacking any vital nutrients which can cause the same thing. Now I lost some of my hair when I was pregnant. Is that a possibility? I say see a Dr.

You are a girl and using a male avatar? Interesting.
To seriously answer your question, the reasons for you hair loss can be several things and only a physician can get to the bottom of it. Any guesses or suggested remedies without knowing the real cause may do more harm than good and will only prolong getting a real solution to your problem.
Don't delay, please call your doctor.

I don't think you are dying at least I pray not. You could be under stress that is a common symptom of stress, hair loss. You could also not be taking care of your hair. If you don't wash it weekly, make sure its moisturized, go to a professional at least once a month just regular good hair hygiene that may also be the cause, I suggest you go to a professional and let them look at your hair to specifically determine what it is and what can be done about it. Good luck girl

I'm a guy and I started losing my hair too - talk to your dermatologist to see if he/she has any suggestions. Mousses and sprays don't really have anything to do with hair loss BTW.

It could be medication. If you recently had anesthesia that could contribute. Being stressed can cause it, thyroid.....as you can see a lot of things can cause this. GO TO THE DOCTOR and find out what is going on. Good luck!

Have your thyroid checked. I have a condition called Graves Disease and that happened to me too. It sucks, I'm not bald or even close so dont worry. See your pcp. Hope the info helps.

If you wear ball caps, that causes men to lose their hair earlier than usual. But then again, your hair could be thinning out on it's own. Next time you go to a barber, ask him what is happening to your hair. I'm sure he can give you an explanation. Or, if you're under quite a bit of stress, try to lose the biggest stress causers. And relax your body & mind.

You need to see your doctor asap. Need some blood tests then he can determinate your condition. Sometimes happen because of the toroid.
Best of lucks!!
