When my brother was younger, he had the exact same thing happen to him.  Your hair loss could be "Alopecia Areata".  It's a type of hair loss that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, which where hair growth begins.  Experts don't know why this happens.  Alopecia is most common in people younger than 20, but can occur in children and adults of all ages.

There may be other factors if your hair is falling out:\nStress\nPregnancy\nPost-pregnancy\nThyroid problem\nIf none of the above, I think Vitamin E helps strengthen hair.

My suggestion is that you get your thyroid checked.  If it is low it can cause all kinds of hair loss!  It is easily treated and medicated by simply going to a doctor.  \nOther than that make sure you massage your scalp when washing it and eat plenty of iron rich foods and protein in addition to the other things that are good for your diet.

You should see a dermatologist. A friend of mine suddenly lost ALL her hair (alopecia)-sp?  It was traumatic. She had to get a wig which was hard because she had no hair with which to fasten the wig onto. Miraculously her hair all came back after about 6 months or so.

It is a skin disease that involves loss of hair on the affected part. It is caused by bacteria. See a skin specialist as early as possible. It is 100% curable and involves a prolonged treatment.It requires injections below the skin on the affected part. If you neglect it then it will spread over a larger  area.

Stress CAN cause hair loss.  Been there.  So can: hereditary hair loss (female pattern baldness), anesthesia, medicines, thyroid dysfunction. Ask a pharmacist or health food store which supplements are the best.  I have used multivitamin, B-complex. Zinc and B6 are good also.  Have your Dr. also advise you.

Could be for several reasons - first thing to do is check out your relatives. It could run in the family.\nThen you should check how the hair falls out. If there are circle shaped spots where the hair is gone - then you should see a doc about it.

Could be a variety of things. Hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, malnutrition of certain nutrients, or alopecia. I would see my doc to rule out the first 3. Then learn more about alopecia if there is not a medical answer.

You could be shampooing too often.. everyday is too much..try putting more oil in your diet..ie olive oil..and stop using a hair dryer if you are using one.

stress 3 months ago will cause my hair to start to fall out, it does grow back as part of it's normal cycle. \nThere are creams you can rub in to your scalp to irritate the hair into growing. Failing this i did have my scalp injected which did work and was not as painful as i thought it was going to be.

Wow. Not entirely sure about this one. Let me think.\n\nUm, how about trying to stress less? I mean wouldn't that result in the hair stopping to fall out? I'm not a hairdresser or doctor either, but surely it would also grow healthier given these circumstances. So, what's the root of the stress? Find it and deal with it and perhaps that'll help solve your problem.

It might be the root of the hair that just wasn't pulled out completely. You can just get it with a pair of tweezers, and it should come right out. Or it may be an ingrown hair, in which case, you can do the same thing.

I did not answer this question previously. I have all those things and my hair normally is thick and healthy.  The only thing that has caused a problem with my hair ever is a thyroid deficiency.  I would consult both my doctor and a dermatologist about thinning hair as it could be a symptom of an illness.  And, its not unlikely that there is something you can do about it now.\n\nAsking guestions online is a good way to get a variety of thoughts, but hun, please, NONE of us can diagnose a problem online, even if we had the education and training.  See your doctor.

Hmmm... it depends on what the cause of the hair loss is.  A dermatologist is probably a good start.  You can even ask the dermatologist if there is anyone else you should see.

many of the 'baldness' medications work by keeping what hair you still have, rather than allowing you to regrow hair that's already gone.  so if you feel that you may be beginning to lose hair, it's probably the ideal time to see a doctor and attempt to arrest the decline in hair follicles.\n\nif you wait until you're bald it's probably too late.
