I'm an 18-year-old female and lately my hair has been falling out like crazy. It's mostly when I brush it but even with just running my hand threw it, some still comes out. When I run my hand threw it's maybe like, 6 strands or so. But, when brushing it's like a wad of hair.
My hair used to be really thick and now it's like half of what it used to be about 7 months ago. That's alot of hair to loose!! I'm really scared because it seems like I'm going bald of something. My friends say it's stress but quite honestly, I have nothing to be stressed about!
Additional info, added Sunday November 27 2005, 5:41 pm: I've never colored or done anything chemical to my hair and I've used the same shampoo and conditioner for the past few years..

dwarp answered Sunday November 27 2005, 8:22 pm: Have you changed your diet at all? A drastic change in diet could lead to hair loss. If you're in college, chances are you're eating differently than you would at home. But I must agree with your roommate, stress is the main cause of hair loss. If you can't find any reason for this, go to a doctor! My brother had this condition called "alopecia areata", it gave him a bald spot in fourth grade. I'm not sure you have the symptoms for that, but it's something a doctor would know! They always have answers. :-D
funkymunky817 answered Sunday November 27 2005, 5:35 pm: it may be condition in which you are allergic to your hair...i know it sounds weird but it can in fact happen. i suggest you go to your docter. my neice had it for a while, she went to the docter in the early stages of it and they were able to reverse it. on the other hand if you dont go and this is the case you could lose all of your hair and because you are allergic to it you wont grow anymore hair. so your best bet is the docter.
Mercy_x_Me answered Sunday November 27 2005, 5:34 pm: Maybe your subconciously stressing from everyday life. Do you have a busy schedule? Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'd say definitely go to one before the situation worsens. Another cause of hair loss is malnutrition...are you getting the proper amounts of food to eat? A doctor might be able to help you stop whatever the situation may be. Definitely go if possible. [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]
