I've heard that too many vitamins can cause this to happen.  But you should contact a dr or pr.

It could be stress, or medications that you are taking.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Sometimes that can be the culprit, or maybe you have a condition called alopecia.  Probably best to be seen by a physician, so something definite can be diagnosed and treated accordingly.

On average, about 100 strands of hair (from the scalp) fall out per day. \nThis is because the hair grows in cycles. Every cycle includes a long growing phase (anywhere up to 7 years) followed by a brief resting phase. At the end of this resting phase, the hair falls out and a new hair starts growing, which begins the whole cycle again.

believe it or not but 10% or your hair is always falling out... its just the cycle in which hair grows and makes room for new hair.  if you are on birth control or are pregnant then it is more likely for you to lose hair do to the hormones.... if your not, dont fret.  it is normal and it happens daily, as long as youre not pulling it out or flalling out in clumps...

My cousin is a licensed hair dresser and says the average hair one looses is about fifty hairs a day. That is without constant brushing and not wearing a hat most of the time.

Your beautiful hair will fall out like mine did. Not all of it, but half of it. i still look good beause I lost 45lbs and I'm getting all the nutrients I need in my body.

try leaving your hair down. It might be from keeping it in a ponytail

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.

The reason that my hair fell out was because of huge stress in my life and mal-nutrition.  It was devastating because I had such lush hair.  It does grow back though. :)

Yes it is a normal process for both men and women. You have been losing hair since the day you were born. Don't worry it grows back.

Go to the doctor and have them check your thyroid!!! Are you under a lot of stress? You can use Rogaine to prevent more hair from falling out, but I don't think it's very effective.

Hair naturally sheds. This is nothing to be alarmed about. You can also take vitamin e.

See your doctor, if you have not already.  There are certain illnesses and medical conditions that can cause hair loss such as hypothyroidism.\n\nOther women, just lose their hair as they get older without any reason ever being found and while 28 is not old, it can occur in the late 20s.

Ok...I don't know how you wear your hair...but do you wear it up all the time? Like..in a ponytail or bun or something? Cuz I used to wear my hair like that everday and it was always itchy. So I started wearing it down one day, and after about a month, my head was fine. But yeah, if you don't wear your hair up all the time, and it's just itchy for no reason, I would suggest asking your doctor, cuz I have no clue. Sorry...

"The advertisements for treatment of balding, and hair loss in men can't be missed. These ads might lead one to believe that hair loss is generally a men's issue. However the fact is that as many as two-thirds of all women experience hair loss at some point."  This is not an uncommon problem among young women.  My niece was 24 when she started to experience hair loss.  However, she also had very thick hair and this went on for a few months and gradually settled and the hair loss subsided.\n\n"Experts say our tresses usually grow at the rate of about one-half inch per month -- with each hair having a growth phase of two to six years. At that point the hair "rests" for a period of time, then falls out -- and the follicle from which it sprang soon starts growing a new strand. And so the cycle continues, usually well into our senior years."\n\nLots more info on hair loss in women as well as its causes and treatment on sites below.  Hope that helps!

It is normal to have few strands.\n\nIf it is a lots of hair see a doctor he/she can check the level of Harmon and let you know.

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.
