Question

Answer 1

Stress could be it.

Are you eating properly? Once my hair started falling out, my doctor said it could have been because I was anemic.

You may have alopecia (a disease where your hair falls out).

Answer 2

Had this problem too in my teens because of stress...I had major depressed and my hair fell out sooo much, not enough to leave any bald spots or anything but like brushing my hair or anything it would just come out alot. Like after highschool it stopped. If something is really stressing u out see the school counsellor mental health is important.

Answer 3

dont worry all these people answering your question are dumb  you are perfectly  fine!! it use to happen to me,i was worried too but it happens to a lot of people.

okay it happens when youhave thick hair and some of it just needs to fall out but trust me it will stop in about a month and it also could happen over stress so if you are stressed then you need to meditate and just calm down and you need to always talk to family members and friends about how you feel thats another way to not be stressed.

   hope i helped

Answer 4

It depends how often you wash your hair. As humans we lose a good amount of hair each day, so the longer gaps between hair washings will add up to a big amount of fallen out hair on your head. It happened to me when I had long hair and didn't wash it for about 3 days

Answer 5

For hair loss you can try this remedy. Mix 1 egg, 2.5 tablespoons milk powder and 1 tablespoon wheat germ oil. Massage on the scalp and leave it for 30 minutes. Wash with a mild shampoo.

Answer 9

I'm 18 and just lost a lot of hair due to stress--peak hair loss tends to hit about 3-4 months after a stressful period, such as depression, major illness, etc. I definitely get a couple hairs on my hand every time I run my fingers lightly through my hair.

Coming out in clumps sounds more severe, though, and could be caused by hormonal problems or reactions to medications. For instance, I'm taking Zoloft, and one of the less common side effects is hair loss--it exacerbated a problem I already had.

There could be an underlying infection or illness, though, so if none of these causes explains it well, definitely see a doctor

Answer 10

Are you pregnant??? Have you ever been pregnant??? Once you s***w up your hormones once they are screwed up for life...I'm a young mother and my hair falls out because of hormones...but they never leave bald spots so I try not to complain too much.

Answer 14

There could be many reasons such as pollution, stress, hormonal changes, medication, etc

Try regular coconut hair oil massages.

Take care of your diet.

Answer 15

if your hair is not damaged from coloring, perms, etc., it might be from a thyroid problem.  your regular doc can order a TSH to check your thyroid functioning, it is a simple blood test.  

Answer 16

For oily hair use some mild shampoo. Care should be taken while using shampoo. Do not scrub or over massage. It is better to rinse thoroughly with Luke warm water. If the hair is too oily, add lemon juice in Luke warm water and rinse.

Answer 17

I'm pretty sure it's common for women to lose hair from time to time. I agree, it is quite scary. It has happened to me on several occasions over the past 10 or so years, and I'm only 26. I know several women of various ages who also experience increased hair loss at times. I know that I do tend to experience it most during times of stress when I'm not eating or sleeping regularly. Generally, it goes on for a couple days to a few weeks and then stops. It generally prompts me to pay more attention to taking care of myself and I often will take a multi-vitamin for a while. Are you underweight? Stressed out or feeling sad a lot? How long have you noticed it happening? Any other symptoms or changes in yourself that you've noticed?

Answer 18

Don't listen to that one girl..its not cancer..cancer doesn't make your hair fall out. (Chemotherapy makes it fall out. Chemotherapy is what they do to treat cancer).

Its could be many reasons...I find that the shorter my hair is the less it falls out. Try not putting conditioner or a lot of oils in your hair...think about it like this...you put oil, butter and slipery stuff on things that are stuck to make them come out..same with hair...you put a lot of oil and conditioner on your roots and it will help roots slip out more...so don't use oil on your scalp.

Gravity and wieght makes hair fall out more...that's why short hair falls out less and your scalp will have less lenght to spread vitamins on...

Its normal for you to loose 100 hairs a day...and they grow back...my hair falls out a lot too. So when I brush, I put my hand on my scalp that way less hair falls out.

I also brush while I have conditioners in the hair to get knots out more easily.

Also brush hair in small parts...if you have time...take out knots one hair at a time and this won't make them fall out.

Also stress, diet, lack of exercise, not enough water can all cause hair loss.

You're young..stop worrying about it and im sure it will fall out less because ull be sressed less.
