Hair loss

[Ampris]

Anyone ever have this problem before? My hair used to be pretty thick, but early this year I started shedding like crazy and now it's way thinner. I don't know why, or what would have caused it, but I'm losing hair constantly, in every shower and hair-brushing and just during the day. My brother's always complaining about the shower drain always being clogged, and it's just odd. Has this happened to anyone before? I can think of a couple things that might be causing it, but I don't really know.

Yeah, but I know why.

Are you anemic? I can't remember if it was that or having some kind of vitamin deficiency, but I know one of them can cause hair loss. Not full on like chemo does, but thinning hair.

My hair started receding a little because of a lot of stress

I lose hair constently.
When I was a freshman though towards the end of the year it was really really bad.
But now everytime I brush my hair i have to clean out the brush. The floor of my room is covered in my hair.
I got tested for anemia when I was 14 but I didn't have it.
I've never done anything for it but I've gotten used to it.

Hmm, I didn't know that. When I was little, yeah, I was anemic, and I did have some other symptoms of it a while back (few months ago) but never got checked out or anything. Maybe I should soon, while I still have free minor checkups and a doctor I like nearby. (More vegetables in my diet would be hecka helpful too, I think. But we're going grocery shopping tomorrow, finally, so that can be helped immediately. )

(PS, I saw your pic in the SYFT just now-- congratulations! It looks great. )

Eh.
I lose a lot of hair.
When I wash it.
When I brush it while it's wet.
And then when I dry and brush it.
But it's not doing anything major, it's still as thick as it's always been.
My hair grows fast though.

Hope you figure out what the problem is!

Same
I just lose it from combing it

stress causes a lot of hair loss... and so does hair products (hair spray, dyes, etc etc) ...... but if those arent factors, its most likely because of your diet

but i wouldnt worry.. losing hair is normal, because new hair USUALLY just grows in, so you wont be bald.. but thats USUALLY... if you do have anemic signs, that might be a major cause too, so DEFINITELY get that checked out if you think its that

My hair just comes out from washing it and brushing it. It's not a big deal for me though. I've got so much of it I hardly notice. But my parents do get annoyed with cleaning hair out the shower/drain.
But my hair doesn't shed just in the daytime

 

[diva122094]

I lose hair too.
It happens cause i get my hair relaxed which is that my hair is naturaly curly but i straighten it.Sometimes i flat iron it to much.But you can't notice it.

I had this hair loss problem since around 21 and now I am 26 but it is now significantly slowed down. Since I started on Regaine shedding of hair has significantly reduced. But there is now clear saver especially once you are loosing hair for quite some time.

ME TOO!!!! That is happening to me now. Whenever I wash my hair or even get it wet, my hair falls out. I can pull out so much that it scared me!! But I asked my doctor and she said that it is normal to loose about 50 strands a day and when your hair is longer, it can look like a lot more! My hair is pretty thick too and I swear that I feel it getting thinner, but everyone else says no. I guess as long as you don't notice any bald spots, then you are okay?

There could be a problem with your thyroid, but I dont know, that is just my guess.

I went through several months last year where I would lose hair like crazy. The doctor said it was because of stress. I had A LOT going on at the time.

Lately I've noticed it's been coming out a little bit, again due to stress.

Some people don't think that teens can go through stress like that. But they have no idea.

 

[PigletGurl]

Yeah my rheumatologist once told me i had alopecia. my hair was a lot thicker before and its slowly falling out or something.
