What can i do or should i do? Do i need some sort of vitamins?

Answer 1

ooo I am so sorry but there is some new treatments out for that look for Motions hair supplies thats wat i use

Answer 2

I've read that we replace all the hair on our head every 7 years, so some hair fall is normal. If you don't feel like you're going bald then I guess the only issue is that it's inconvenient?

The shampoo you use can affect things like that, and lots of people are allergic to shampoos, even expensive ones. Have you talked to your hair stylist? I actually had a big improvement to my hair once I switched from the salon brand I'd been using.

Answer 3

It is normal that 50 hair strands a day falls off our scalp. There are some shampoos in the market that could control EXCESSIVE hair fall like Pantene hair fall control shampoo. Your current shampoo could be too harsh for your hair that is why your hair is falling off too much. Try changing your shampoo. Also, do weekly hair treatments made for hair repair or damaged hair. Your hair could be very sensitized from curling irons, hair drier etc that's why it easily breaks, which appears like you are losing too much strands. good luck. Have a great hair day!

Answer 4

Do you mean that your hair is falling out? It is normal to
lose some hair, but if it's coming out to the extent that
you say you may need to take some vitamins. There are
vitamins that say for hair and nails. I don't know personally
how they work. It would be worth looking into.

Answer 5

I actual have clearly curly hair as well, and that i dealt with a ton of breakage. What labored for me; get a broom with vents, (holes contained in the back) and save it contained in the bathe. once you bathe, slather your hair in conditioner, and then brush. The conditioner helps the tangling and it keeps from breaking. regrettably, consistent hair loss could nicely be an illustration of something medically incorrect, consisting of a thyroid difficulty. Get checked in case you do not get it lower than administration. :/ sturdy success!

Answer 6

I am so sorry this is happening to you. I think that it is good that you say it looks like you have not lost anything. That means that if you can get it under control now, it probably won't be a big deal. Go to http://www.hairfinity.com and do a free healthy hair consultation. They can probably help. Good luck.

Answer 7

Drink 10-12 glasses of water daily and have a high protein diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Since iron-deficiency anemia can also cause hair loss,make sure that you eat a well-balanced diet that includes a daily serving or two of iron-rich foods. Check out

Causes of Hair Changes During Pregnancy
Changes to hair on the scalp. Many women notice that the hair on their head is thicker during pregnancy. Many lose a lot of hair a few weeks or months after delivery. These changes are normal. Hair growth generally returns to its regular growing cycle within six months after delivery.

When you're not pregnant, the hairs on your head grow in a regular cycle. Each hair:

* Usually grows about one-half inch per month for anywhere from two to six years
* Then goes into a “resting” phase for 2 or 3 months
* Then gradually falls out, usually when you’re brushing or washing your hair

The growth cycle then starts again. At any one time, about 10 percent of the hair on your scalp is in a resting phase, and about 90 percent is growing.

During pregnancy, hairs tend to stay in the resting phase longer. And much more of your hair is in the resting phase at any one time. Therefore, fewer hairs fall out each day. This causes your hair to seem thicker and fuller.

After delivery, this resting phase shortens. More hairs fall out, and you start to grow new hair. But the normal hair loss that was delayed by pregnancy tends to take place all at one time. This may cause your hair to seem thinner than usual.

Other hair growth. Some women also develop more hair on their chin, upper lip, cheeks, arms and legs during pregnancy. You also may notice new hairs (sometimes even just one or two) on your breasts, belly and back.

Pregnancy hormones and increased cortisone cause this type of hair growth during pregnancy. This growth usually lessens within about six months after pregnancy.

Hair Changes: What You Can Do
Hair growth on the face, arms and legs during pregnancy is normal. Your hair growth should return to its regular cycle within six months after delivery.

To get rid of unwanted hair growth, you can safely tweeze, wax or shave. Avoid using bleaches or depilatories that can be absorbed into the skin. Permanent hair-removal techniques (such as electrolysis) are thought to be safe during pregnancy. But they can be painful or uncomfortable.

You can do several things to have a healthier head of hair during pregnancy and after delivery:

* Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables. These may provide protection for the hair shafts and encourage hair growth.
* Be gentle with your hair when it is fragile and wet. Avoid fine-tooth combs.
* Avoid using blow dryers and other heated hair instruments. If you must use a hair dryer, use the cooler settings.
* Avoid pigtails, cornrows, tight braids and tight hair rollers. They can pull and stress your hairs.

When to Talk to Your Health Care Provider

Some hair thinning in the months after delivery is normal. Your hair should return to its normal growing cycle without any special treatment. This hair thinning is usually not serious enough to cause bald spots or permanent hair loss.

If you have a lot of hair loss or lose quarter-size patches of hair, you may not be getting enough vitamins or minerals. It may also be a sign of a medical problem unrelated to your pregnancy (such as a skin disease or a thyroid disorder). Talk to your health care provider if you feel that your hair loss is unusual or excessive.
