Have you done anything, such as had anesthesia or anything that would cause this? Whenever I have had anesthesia, this always happens to me. I don't have a lot of hair to start with, so it really made a difference. Some things you can do, is take a multivitamin, then take extra biotin with it. Biotin has helped mine alot. Keep heat away, I have been letting my hair airdry, and I curl the hair with Caruso molecular steam rollers. These are near as damaging to the hair. Take fishoil gelcaps as well. Hope this helps.

My first question to you is: Are you on any medications? There are a lot of them out there that can cause hairloss, but the doctors won't tell you about it. Also, how's your diet? Protein is important for the hair. Along with the multi and the biotin, you could also take zinc. If you're deficient in zinc, it can cause hairloss. And, another thing that helps, is saw palmetto extract. You can buy this at a health food store.

When I go through alot of stress it happens. I get worried and then when things calm down it comes back. I do have a friend that had a similar problem and she went to the doctor and he gave her something for it, can't remember if it was a special shampoo or vitamins. I would definately buy a vitamin that supports hair and nail growth. I know they have that. AND...if you are really worried, go to a dermatologist or doctor. This probably isn't much help, but I do know worrying isn't going to help.

Hi,

I agree with the other posters and check if anything in your life has changed. Are you taking meds.? Or has your diet changed? Are you under stress? Taking a multi vitaim should help and also try Nioxin shampoo and conidtor. I used it when i went thru a period of hair loss and it helped with my hair and scalp. Good luck

An underactive thyroid can also cause your hair to fall out.

My daughter went thru a period where she lost so much hair, my vacuum would clog (her hair was down to her waist!). We changed her shampoo and she also stopped pulling it back into a ponytail. Her hair stopped falling out and is once again full and healthy.
