advice

14/f-uhm, well i have longish brown hair, [boob-length] & i recently got my hair cut about a month ago. it used to be like belly button length. back when my hair was longer, i started to notice that it was like, falling out. not in like huge clumps, but i was suddenly aware of like stray hairs on my shoulder & pillow & stuff.
*i know that you lose like 100 hairs a day* but like i never noticed it this much before. now it seems to be getting worse. when i take my hair out of a ponytail,i lose like 6 strands each time. when my hairs wet, there seem to be strands that are mcuh longer than the others, but it just turns out that they're no longer like attached to my scalp or whatver. i talked to my doctor, but she didn't put much thought into it. i know it could be a thyroid problem; but my hairdresser says i'm too young for that. does anyone have advice to make it stop or at least slow down?! thanks mucho! ♥

well, because your doctor doesn't think that much about it, I wouldn't worry too much. I agree with the person who answered before me about the chlorine and brushing your hair and stuff. I just wanted to add that it is very possible for you to have a thyroid problem right now because I had one from when I was like 6-11. I had hypo-thyroid and I'm not quite sure if that effects hair loss though. I know that thyroid problems are somewhat hereditary though. Talk to your mom, though, just in case. ask her if there are any records of thyroid problems in your family. I'm sure your fine but double checking can never hurt!
