hair falling out
I'm 16/F
I have dyed my hair a couple of times, and I straighten it a lot although I do not think that straightening one's hair would make it fall out.
My hair falls out terribly bad, when I shower I have like fist fulls of hair and it is just so disgusting.
I have really thick hair so you cannot notice that it falls out, well it does not look like it falls out.
Anyway, I get my hair thinned out when I get my hair done and it still falls out really bad and looks really thick.
Does anyone have any ideas on why my hair is falling out so much?

Count how many hairs you're losing a day. It's quite normal to lose 100 or so (a bit more if you have thick hair). So what seems like a lot of hair may actually be nothing to worry about. If you're really losing a lot, or you notice it's falling out in a certain area or pattern, see a doctor if at all possible. They can test/check for possible medical conditions that cause hair loss. Also, a common cause of losing your hair is stress. This happened to my friend when she was ten years old so don't think you're too young for it. Things like that can usually be treated.
Besides something being medically wrong, make sure you're not using a brush on wet or damp hair. Use moisturizing shampoo and try to minimize the amount of heat you expose your hair to. If you get a lot of knots, try using a detangler when you brush your hair.
hope this helps :)

Dying and bleaching your hair too much will turn it very brittle (depending on hair type, though) and that probably contributes to the hair falling out.
