I have long, straight hair. I have never permed or colored it, and have not had a child recently. I usually have it in a bun or ponytail. I notice it falling out the most when I'm in the shower. I'll run my hands over my hair while rinsing and will get a handful of hair. The other times I notice is when I brush my hair, and on my pillow in the morning. I'm cleaning my house this weekend, and am finding hair everywhere!!!
I shampoo every other day, and use Tressemme shampoo and conditioner. My hair is really fine, so I usually put a leave in conditioner on the baby fine hair at the base of my scalp. However, what falls out seems to be long hair.
What can I do to fix this problem? I have read the other answers, but truthfully can't afford to go to the doctor - I don't have insurance.
Thanks :D

Don't worry! Hair falling out (even if it seems like a lot) is completely natural. Everyone's hair falls out in cycles. And remember, it's also normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day. If your still concerned, take daily vitamins. Don't bother seeing a doctor unless you start to see bald patches.

Some peoples hair just falls out or sometimes when a person is scared or exited that happens, and sometimes different waters can damage hair. Maybe try shampooing and conditioning your hair with something else than what you are using. I am so sorry you can not afford the doctor.

Losing hair can be cause by a number of problems. Hormones and stress are two. Any time you pull your hair and put bands on it you are stretching it. Try allowing it to air dry and don't use a curling iron. Good luck.

could be hormones. did you just have a baby? are you stressed out? Also your diet, are you eating enough veggies? Its normal to lose a little hair everyday but not too much. see a doctor if its nothing obvious.
