Losing hair and how to cure it?
Anyone know what're some common reasons for losing hair and how to cure it? I know mine has a chance of being hereditary, because my mom loses hair a lot. But I've also been quite stressful lately, and haven't been getting a lot of nutrition and exercises. So...can those be the reasons, or could there be any other ones that I should be aware of? And if there is any sort of treatment that's useful, please let me know. Thanks!

I definetly think, to start you need to try to relieve stress, and start eating a nutritious meal and drink lots of water.
I found you some websites that can definetly help. :-)

here are some treatments I have researched:
Minoxidil (a.k.a. Rogiane, the brand you ask about) is a liquid application applied to the scalp twice daily, which may stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. Prices vary depending on where you get the product (online versus in a store, where you live, etc.). Studies indicate that (when compared to placebo) Rogaine does produce moderate growth of hair in 30-40% of people using it as directed.
Finasteride is a prescription medication taken daily (in pill form) to treat male pattern baldness. Some people prefer taking one pill a day rather than liquid applications which are messier and sometimes smell unpleasant.
Corticosteroids are monthly injections of cortisone. Corticosteriods may also be taken in pill, ointment, or cream forms, but these forms are found to be less effective than injections.
Surgical procedures exist, such as hair transplant or scalp reduction (in which the skin with hair still growing is stretched and part of the bald skin is removed).
Wigs and hairpieces are a less invasive treatment option.
