Answer 1

Ok...this type of thing is usually caused by diets (are you on a low calorie diet or a low protein diet???)
Otherwise it is nothing other than that you are allergic. Most hair strengtheners main active ingredient is some type of protein (which IS good for strengtheing in small doses) But, protein can cause the scalp to be dry, which can cause some extra hair loss. If in addition to that you are allergic, this could be your problem. Some people are allergic to wheat. Many products protein dirivitive is wheat protein that is another possiblity..if you are allergic to wheat.
The key to using protein strengthing products is to use them EVERYOTHER time you shampoo. Protein CAN absolutely strengthen you hair, but too much of it can over load the hair shaft with protein and dry it out or worse yet blow out the hair shaft... The effect...major broken hair.
Switch back and forth with a good salon product recommended for your hair type by a licenced professional and follow it up once or twice a week (depending on how often you shampoo) with a nice protein product (my favorites are from the Extreme line by Redken) Although many companies offer such products that are also good. I wish I knew what your hair type was I could even offer you advice on exact products.
Oh! In the meantime, while you are healing you scalp from the hair loss, you may want to try something invigorating at your scalp, maybe something with tea tree in it (Sally Beauty has all kinds of tea tree products as does the Paul Mitchell brand). This will get your scalp circulation going and promote hair restoration and get rid of any dandruff you may be experiencing.

Hope this helped

maybe you have a reaction to the shampoo,try changing it to pantene,a little more expensive but i've heard it's a really great shampoo. i sometimes use the herbal essence and my hair isn't falling out, just the usual amount of hair comes out ,but you loose about 150 hairs a day anyway,
try a different brand of shampoo, if it is still worrying you, it could be a medical condition,go see the doctor..stress could also play a big part in loosing hair, good luck anyway

a number of issues might reason hair to fall out - rigidity - no longer eating adequate/being too skinny even although, you have very long hair, as do I, and it relatively is organic to lose approximately a hundred hairs an afternoon. I dont brush my hair on a daily basis so as quickly as I do or whilst contained in the bathe it would desire to seem that extra hair is falling than huge-unfold yet its in basic terms the build up of the a hundred hairs an afternoon u lose. U lose extra on your previous due 20s and 30s as properly as hair for sure thins with age. try brushing your hair on a daily basis, use conditioner each and every time you wash it. in case you think of you have a concern, see a tricologist (hair physician) for suggestion desire this enables ;)

Answer 5

If you are washing your hair daily you should lose 100-150 strands of hair each day normally. It's probably just coincidence that you think it's your shampoo. Are you pregnant? How is your thyroid? Talk to your doctor if you notice any major change. PS. If you have long hair 150 strands looks for like 300 strands.

Answer 6

You should switch to the john frieda shampoo and conditioner line or the sunsilk. These products are really good I noticed that my hair got stronger and less fell out. Another thing that you could do is take biotin(vitamin) to make your hair stronger. Hope that helps you out.

Answer 7

Stop using it and go back to what you were using before. If the hair-loss continues, you'll know it wasn't the shampoo doing it to you. If that's the case and it's not the shampoo though, contact your doctor.

Answer 8
