Question

I'm 14 and i'm having way to much hair lose, in the mornings i lose about 100 strands than during the day i say like 200 strands and in the shower i lose double that
i'm so worried i just cry it feels like i have hardly any hair anymore.
i'm not bald but im losing way to much hair. i can't make it to a doctor atm.
any suggestions?

Answer 1

that also happened to me..try not to use hot water while taking a bath...always use cold...and try not to use shampoo that are too strong..you have to put little amount of water in your shampoo so that your head will not be irritated...

Answer 2

I find that burshing my hair in the shower and using a little more than the reccomended dose of conditioner helps with 'shedding' but I have very thick hair so I lose lots everyday no matter what. Gelatin is supposed to help strengthen and grow hair- you could try gelatin pills, but I hear they make hair and nails very coarse as well. Do you have a reputable salon nearby? Maybe a professional can suggest a new product or a tried-and-true remedy that works for their clients. Also, if you wear hats a lot, try to let your scalp breathe more- they say that overwearing a hat can be a huge reason men bald so quickly.

Answer 3

ok the same thing happened to me. You might have a different problem but here iss what I did:



I went to the doctor and got some bloodwork done but nothing showed up. She decided I had delayed stress syndrome (I was in charge of a lot of things at college and things WERE stressful).



I started taking a B-complex vitamin and a Biotin pill. They are anti-stress and protein complexes that realllly help hair.



Since I have destressed and now I have thick, shiney, pretty blonde hair again. It took a few months however because hair takes a while to grow and to stop falling out even after the stress has stopped.



Good luck girl!

Your very young for this to be going on and I'm sorry you are.

Every one loses hair on a daily basis, this is normal around 100- 200 hairs a day or more. But if hair loss runs in your family you may loose much more. Other factors may be meds taken or diets this will cause more hair loss than normal. This can be heredity from parents either one or both.This is either male or female pattern hair loss causes may be from stress,illness, physical stress,high fevers or heredity.Hair ties, pulling hair, curling irons all can cause some hair loss and damage. With protein and iron intake this may help with more hair growth and protect from any more damage. Thyroid disease will also cause some if not all the reasons you are loosing hair.

This happens over time (not over night) when shedding normal you may not really notice, but if alot is coming out you will this is focal hair loss. Men start to loos hair and show bald spots , women loose hair over entire head, but may also have bald spots.How you treat this depends on the cause!

Hair loss that runs in the family can be treated with medicines or with surgery such as hair transplants. Things to consider--

Which treatment is most likely to work?

How long does it take?

Will it last?

What are side effects and risks?

How much will this cost and does insurance cover this?

If this is inherited your hair wont grow back naturally treatment may help for some to come in , but not much, If medicines stress, or damaged hair is the cause it often will come in again, but need to rid yourself of the cause.

Answer 5

use a hair strengthening shampoo/ conditioner.

or a hair thickener.



also if you brush your hair with a regular brush on wet hair, it can give you dry hair with split ends.



you are supposed to lose about 180 strands a day, if you dont wash your hair daily, then the 180 strands from the previous day dont have a way of washing out.

so if thats the case then dont worry, just wash your hair more.

Answer 6

I would take a look at your diet and see if you are missing any nutrients that could be causing this. Do a google search on this and see what you find.

Stress also I know can play a part in hair lose so yu may want to look at how you manage your daily life and what gets you stressed

Best wishes

Answer 7

if the hair you lose have a white tip, then there is nothing to worry. it is just the periodic loss everyone goes through. if it doesnt, then you should get it checked. dirty hair falls more. so wash your hair regularly, using very little shampoo, diluted thoroughly. shampoo pnly the roots. the rest will get clean with the rinse. eat a lot of green leafy veggies.

Answer 8

Eat healthy foods, try not to stress too much, and get plenty of rest. Unfortunately the genetic pool isn't exactly working in your favor but keep an active and healthy lifestyle.

Answer 9

Drink lots and lots of water and before you shower massage into scalp and hair honey and egg yolk and leave it for about 1/2 hour.

P.S.Your just starting puberty so your hormones are going crazy right now,dont worry and God bless!

Answer 10

Have you been sick over the few months?



Hair loss can sometimes be triggered by illness - although your hair loss will actually occur a few months after you were sick, so you might not associate the two.

Answer 11

Eat healthier and take vitamins or maybe u need to go see a doctor

Answer 12

it totaly normal

but if you dostart to notice spots where you have less hair go to the doctor it might be alopecia
