i noticed last night that my hair line is receding. this does not run in my family. all of my grand parents hav their hair currently, and they are all in their 70's. why is mine begining to thin and fall out? I had a baby 3 months ago could it be hormones? stress? a didease? could i be putting my hair up to often that it is causing it to fall out? please please help me... i need some quick advice, my dr appointment isn't for an other week. yikes!

I use pantene Ice shine. I have used it since september 06... my hair did not seem to react to the conditioner, though it is a good suggestion. i have been slightly stressed with finals, the new baby, potty training the two year old, lack of sleep, financial stresses, and loads of other stuff... but i didn't want to just pass it off as stress, i thought it best to ask some kind people for their advice also. thank you all!

Also i am on no medications, sadly not birth control, and not a daily vitamin. I just started do exercises every other day to lose the baby weight... I am terribly over weight. 5ft 4. and i weight 180lbs. (sigh) i spend lots of time in the sun, i live in hawaii... um... i don't really eat well, my fruit portions are subject to left overs of what my son doesn't eat. i did also just get my appendix removed about a month and a half ago.

you may want to look into polycystic ovarian syndrome, it causes heightened levels of androgens (such as testosterone) and causes hair loss and balding in women. it can also cause excess hair growth such as on the face, nipples, chest, and belly.
it is prolly a hormonal problem, you need to speak with your clinician about getting these things checked out :)

It can be stress related, i doubt hormonal. It really depends on what you're washing your hair with! Don't use conditioner anymore... my hair kept falling out when i used that. Recently i started using warm virgin olive oil for my hair, and i feel amazing! Warm up some olive oil, and keep it in your hair for 30 minutes. Then use a very mild shampoo like johnson's baby shampoo. You'll be fine

usually hair falls out when you have stress or your just tired. Also if you dont eat, you hair falls out. I think in your case, it is because of lack of sleep and strees, i mean after all taking care of a born baby is not an easy task to do.

i am not 25...considerably older than that ....but i did experience hair loss from constantly pulling my hair up in a pony tail. I have since cut it short and it is just as thick as ever.
Hope that helps

It can definitelly be hormonal since you just had your baby. Talk to your doctor. Don't worry about it. Hair goes through cycles.
