My hair's falling out!?

i'm a girl, and everytime i take a shower a lot of my hair falls out and its frightening because i wonder if it'll keep falling out to the point of me turning bald! i hear that happens a lot to women and i dont want to be one of those bald women! i tried changing my shampoos, conditions, and stopped using any hair styling products but its not working! is this stress related, or something? how can i fix this?

help will be greatly appreciated.

If your hair is falling out in extremely dramatic amounts, you should see your doctor to rule out Polycystic Ovary Syndrome among other conditions. Also, I've heard that some birth control pills can cause hair loss (specifically birth control pills that are very androgenic - high in male hormones). If this is the case, you'll also want to talk to your doctor.

Keep in mind that the average person sheds around 80-100 hairs per day. If you have extremely thick hair, you might shed double that amount and be perfectly healthy. I have extremely thick hair and it always amazes me how much hair comes out when I shower and when I brush my hair, but over the years my hair has never thinned. Chances are you're fine!

Your hair is either regenerating itself (dont worry that's good!) or you're just over exaggerating. If you're really that worried go to a doctor.

My hair's falling out!?

it might mean that u are lacking in something for example fibre n protien or iron. its normal for hair to fall out, if say u didnt wash it 4 a few days there would be more dead hair

dont know how old u r or if u have had a baby but hair also falls out after you have had a baby coz in pregnancy it thickens.

First of all try to relax...

Youre Not going Bald!!!

i thought i was before but then i found out its natural

you need to lose some hairs for other new ones to come up otherwise you'll look like a hairy monster!! lolz

about an average of 90 hairs fall per day, which i would see fallin and nearly scream!!

But u must also knw that this could be something related to stress.

so if you thing you mite be loosing to much hair and is stressing a lot you should think about trying to calm down a bit..

Otherwise,go see a doctor if your still worried!!and to just make sure its not a symptom for something else!!

Hope i could help!!

Good Luck

Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some. Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.

Hi there!

The first thing I want to say to you is to try not to panic. I know that is easier said than done. We lose a surprising amount of hair every day, but most of the time we don't even notice. Hair loss that is greater than "normal" is referred to as alopecia. There are many forms and causes of alopecia, and the result of each one is different, as is the treatment for each one.

One of the first things I'd like you to do is have someone you trust take a look at your scalp. Carefully look over the entire scalp from the crown of your head all the way to the hairline around your head, front, back, and sides. Are there any areas where you can see the scalp without a whole bunch of hair covering it? If there is a spot (or several spots) where the hair is very thin, then how big is he spot? A good frame of reference is the size of various coins - a penny, a quarter, and so on. It may also be helpful to take a look on the floor of the room where you usually do your hair. If you do have a hair loss problem, you will see a surprising amount of hair on the floor whenever you sweep or vaccuum the area. Taking a moment to do these things will help you figure out if you actually have a problem, or if you just happen to be noticing the normal shedding we all go through.

If you find that you have some noticable hair loss, I would strongly recommend that you go see a dermatologist. There are several skin conditions, some of which are genetic, that can cause alopecia. There is a form of hair loss called "traction alopecia" that results from wearing your hair in complicated braids and pulling your hair tightly to create certain hair styles.

Stress can cause hair loss, but that is not as common as most people think. More often in young women and girls here is a hormonal cause. Your body goes through so many changes as you go through puberty (you don't say your age, so I'm trying to cover all the bases), if you are pregnant (not to suggest you are!), or if you have a hormonal imbalance.

If you are a minor (under 18), please ask your parents to take you to a dermatologist. How your hair loss is treated depends on the specific type of hair loss you are experiencing. I think I understand how you feel, but I would never claim to know exactly. I happen to have a genetic disorder that causes a type of hair loss called "scarring alopecia", where the hair follicles scar over and the hair will never grow back. It is upsetting and it was terribly difficult to cope with until I found out what was going on. If you do have a form of alopecia, please see a doctor. There is no product on the market that you can buy that does what they claim to do. A doctor is the only one who can really help you. Please take a moment to read the information on the two websites I provided below. Then get yourself to a dermatologist so you can get some real answers from a trained professional. There is no need for you to suffer with the fear of not knowing what the problem is. No one can really understand your concerns unless they have experienced hair loss for themselves, so please do not let anyone tell you you have nothing to worry about. If you are worried, that is your right. Some common medical conditions can cause hair loss, and finding out why your hair is falling out can tip your doctor off to a new medical problem.

Good luck!
