Why does my hair keep falling out?

Hair loss happens to women as well as men. For us ladies, it's often tied into hormonal changes -- the same monsters that make you want to eat those around you for breakfast also control your hair. \n\nThere are all kinds of medical remedies available. If you're serious about remedying hair loss, see your doctor. You can also take steps to preserve the hair your have. One easy thing, only comb your hair from roots to ends. Anything else tangles and then pulls out hair in the detangling process. Follow this pattern also when you wash and condition your hair. Also, keep your hair cut short as weight will also increase fallout. Finally, Mane and Tail shampoo seem to help, and some judicious use of hair gel will make the hair you have seem thicker.

Baldness is caused not by losing hair, but by not regrowing lost hair.\n\nYou can lose a ton of hair but not go bald, so long as your body can regrow from that follicle.\n\nBaldness is caused by the death of the follicle.  In men, testosterone can cause those follicles to die.  Once gone, no more hair can grow.

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.

Lay off the hair products, they clog your follicles and cause your hair to fall out. Get a trim. Take Vitamin E and D supplements they help skin and hair. Also, look up a \n"homemade hair mask" on a yahoo search they have tons of homemade hair treatments that condition and strengthen your hair which prevents the breakage and keeps your hair in your head. It can't completely prevent it, but that should help if it's a help-able matter.

It could be stress or perhaps you need a better shampoo to make you're hair stronger. I am having the same problem and I am also 20.

When I started to loose my hair I went to the DR.'s and they told me I was low on Iron. You may want to take some iron supplements and see if that helps. Have you changed your shampoo or changed any of your eatting habits? That could have a lot to do with it as well.

If someone coud solve your problem, they could become very rich. it seems from what I have read about it, that testosterone is converted to another more potent hormone which at first they thought built up around the hair folicle and kept the blood supply away, now it seems they have decided it causes inflamation around the hair folicle and the inflammation is the cause of the hair falling out, if you use an immune system suppressing drug, your hair will grow back, but in doing so, it is very dangerous to mess with immune system suppressing drugs. it appears your immune system is responsible for your loss of hair. most people aren't aware that all steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol, lowering your cholesterol may help slow the process of hair falling out. less cholesterol to make testosterone less to make dht which irritates scalp and causes inflammation. in other words, there isn't much you can do about it.

You are probably just losing hair because of the fall in hormones following your pregnancy & the fact that you are still breastfeeding means your hormones are not properly back to normal. Probably not premenopausal unless early menopause runs in the family.

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.

I don't think that's normal.  All the older girls I know have a full head of hair.  Some of them may turn white but they don't lose hair other than your normal hairfall in the shower.  You may have alopecia. Or it could be a symptom of something else. Go check with your doctor.

normally hair loss is hereditary, but certain health conditions can cause hair loss as well; stress is another cause; best to see a specialist for the same.\n\napplication of warm coconut oil before going to bed & then washing with a mild shampoo next morning tends to help (2-3 times a week); avoid blow drying; if possible avoid shampoo & substitute with herbs like Shikakai & reetha (sorry don't know their english translations)  rubbing the nails of both hands against each other for not more than 5 minutes a day is supposed to be very good for the hair as well (something to do with accupressure)

Its not just falling of hair - its actually rising of the sun of wisdom from the couds of hairs. Since very few men are gifted with widom, God made this to make it easier for women to choose. ( women dont get bald coz they are all packed with  wisdom naturally )

Likely happens due to static electricity grabing the hair.  All the rubbing on the front likely creates the force and the weak her likely slips off.

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.

If it's falling out at a rapid rate, then you will want to see your doctor to make sure you don't have a serious medical condition. If it's a gradual loss then it's more than likely hereditary. In that case, the only 2 medications that have been PROVEN to work are Propecia, which is in pill form and only available by prescription, and Rogain (which they have a women's and men's version) and that you can get at any drug store. Good luck!

Don’t worry if it isn’t excessive hair loss, it’s just part of a normal function of your body.\n\nIf the symptoms are acute you should probably visit you’re physician. Hair loss can be triggered by many factors: stress, hormonal changes or dysfunctions, taking some substances (legal or illegal).\n\nLong hair usually falls in larger amounts.\n\nIf you're not receiving chemo why do you post your question in the cancer section?
