Excessive hair loss...?

im only 18 and every time i run my fingers through my hair i pull out a handful of hair, and every time i take a shower and brush my hair it comes out in globs. you know how when you don't clean the hair out of your brush for a few weeks and then when you finally do its a big glob of hair? well that's what mine does in one time of brushing. has this ever happened to anyone before? if so does anyone know what could be causing this?Excessive hair loss...?
A year or so ago I was having the same problem as you are, with the hair loss. Have you been feeling tired? Ill? Anything like that? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism which explained why my hair was falling out. There are a number of medical conditions that could be causing this or you could be not getting enough vitamins to stimulate hair growth. Your best bet would be to go to a doctor and check it out. Better to be safe, you know?Excessive hair loss...?
This type of hair loss (telogen effluvium) is becoming more common with teens and young women. There are many possible causes. Thinking back 1-3 months prior to hair loss can provide clues. Any new medication, birth control. vaccination, illness, infection, diet, weight loss, etc? There may also be a nutritional deficiency, health condition etc. It is important to try to pinpoint to cause. The following website has a lot of information and articles on teenage hair loss, including causes. Essential oil scalp massage may be very helpful.
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.

girl it is normal to loose at least 100 hairs a day....that is normal, if you feel it is more than that it could be stress, if your hair is long that will look like a lot of hair. as long as it doesn't feel thinner and no bold spots are popping up you will be ok. check your diet as well, if you haven't been eating like you are supposed to that will come out in your hair as well.
Well we do loose about 100 hairs a day if you think its more than that it might be several things,stress,chemicals(over processing),diet,hormones,meds,and more talk to your doctor for blood test also...
you need to see your doctor, and they will either refer you to someone or help you there. you could have a scalp condition thats causing this...or just genetics.





make an appointment ASAP





Good Luck!
Do you color your hair a lot? That could cause it.
Make an appt. with the doctor you could have a Thyroid problem.
