Ask_Andy answered Friday July 6 2007, 6:20 pm: Well, A.) You are dyeing/highlighting/straightening it too much. B.) You don't eat enough. Or you have an eating disorder. Or C.) This is just a phase, some of your old hair is falling out, and some new hair is growing in. [ Ask_Andy's advice column | Ask Ask_Andy A Question ]
orphans answered Friday July 6 2007, 10:26 am: if you dont take care of your hair, than that could cause it. like if it gets tangled really easily. switch shampoos
if you have an eating disorder, than that could cause it, but you didn't mention that soo... [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

Usually your hair falls out from stress. If you have an eating disorder, it'll also cause your hair to fall out.
If you've got no eating disorder & you're not under any stress, the only other thing I can think of is that the strands falling out are dead. Dead hair usually falls out so that new hair can grow.

1. starving yourself
2.throwing up onpurpose
than thats why! but if your not then to tell you its normal to loose to about 100 or more strands of hair a day! [ sml111992's advice column | Ask sml111992 A Question ]
