am i losing hair?


Question Posted Tuesday October 24 2006, 10:25 am

heya im 15 years old and recently ive been noticing a lot of hair falling out!

1. when im in the bath and am lathering in shampoo i find a lot of strands knotted around my fingers.

2. when i run my fingers through my hair there are about 4/5 broken strands and about 7 full strands floating to the floor

3. when i brush my hair i leave a carpet of strands of hair on my lap

I dont know if this is normal (because ive heard that you lose about 80 strands of hair a day) and i have a good diet , plenty of fruit n veg etc, and i straighten my hair everyday. I understand that this doesnt sound much but if it happens everyday as it does then wont i have less hair in a couple of years? help!

ty in advance rachel xxx

you hair might be incredibly weak and fine,and straightening it doesnt help. buy a spray to put on your hair befor you straighten it to avod damage (thermal spray) and also buy a ani-breakage conditioner (tresseme has one-its great! =]). alssooo it could be the one week you loose a lot of hair,next week you barely loose hair,in that pattern. but if this thing is constant,and you have some bald spots, DEFFINATLY see a doctor. protein makes up hair,peanut butter,eggs,for example have protein in it. also your hair could be changeing,its changes as you age(obviously...xP).the seasons could maybe affect it too!! i hope i helped!! good luck =]

Its probably normal.
Try not straightening your hair for a day and see if anything improves. Straightening your hair damages it and makes it weaker. So before your straighten it buy some cream to protect your hair ( l`oreal intense repair, texturline hot style ironing creme, etc.) If you blowdry your hair try to do it on the lowest heat setting. You might want to get some strengthening shampoo & a good conditioner. Also to prevent breakage dont put your hair in a ponytail when its wet.

hope i helped =]
