Why is my hair faling off like crazy?

I have healthy, long hair that is well taking care off, but every time I brush it or wash it... it falls off big time. Am I going bold? Or is this seasonal?

Hair loss in women can betransient (synonyms = temporary / telogen effluvium / non-genetic) orpermanent (genetic / androgenetic alopecia). To determine whichcategory you fall under, please read this web page to learn more.



Before learning about female hair loss, one must understand the human hair growth cycle.



The average person loses 50-100 hairs a day. Hair loss only occurs when the number of shedding hairs exceeds the number of new hairs coming in. Normal hair growth is a three stage cycle:



[a] Anagen - Growth Phase Approximately 85% of all hairs arein the growing phase at any one time. The Anagen phase or growth phasecan vary from two to six years. Hair grows approximately 10 cm per yearand any individual hair is unlikely to grow more than one meter long.



[b] Catagen - Transitional phase At the end of theAnagen phase the hairs enters into a Catagen phase which lasts aboutone or two weeks, during the Catagen phase the hair follicle shrinks toabout 1/6 of the normal length. The lower part is destroyed and thedermal papilla breaks away to rest below.



[c] Telogen - Resting Phase The resting phase followsthe catagen phase and normally lasts about 5-6 weeks. During this timethe hair does not grow but stays attached to the follicle while thedermal papilla stays in a resting phase below.



Approximately 10-15 percent of all hairs are in this phase atan one time. At the end of the Telogen phase the hair folliclere-enters the Anagen phase. The dermal papilla and the base of thefollicle join together again and a new hair begins to form. If the oldhair has not already been shed the new hair pushes the old one out andthe growth cycle starts all over again. Each hair passes through thephases independent of the neighboring hairs.

If it got thicker for a period of time for some reason, then it may be going back to its natural state. This happens during and after pregnancy, but could be at other times too.

when i was in the hospital recovering, they had me on a lot of medications, and every time i brushed my hair, it came out in large chuncks also. when i put my hair in pony tails it was so thin i did not like it.



when i got home, i was on only a couple of meds and my hair started to grow back. now my hair is thick again since i dropped most of those meds.



check what kinds of meds you are taking and find out what the side effects are



also you might want to change your shampoo every once in a while. some times there is something in the shampoo which could cause your hair to come out.



good luck

First you have to use a hair product that is less harmful to your scalp... next you have to massage gently your scalp when you wash... And you have to look again at what are you eating, ask your self - is this healthy food that am i eating ? And some times is inevitable, you might have poor quality genes, and something is happening in your body, some hormones are to active there and they cause the body to age to quick...

The answer that included the phases of hair growth was excellent and so was the answer about alopecia, but I want to add one thing. If it seems like your hair is falling out more than what is normal, then please get your thyroid levels tested right away. Also, have you noticed any changes in your behavior lately, and is your skin getting dry? You could be hypothyroid (low thyroid) and this needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Good luck.

Aside from adequate nutrition, sleep and exercise, and assuming that you are not taking any drugs that would cause your liver to malfunction (you should see a doctor to make certain that your liver is OK, just in case!) because hair loss is an indicator of liver problems, then check this out:



5 Tips to Care for Thinning Hair



WebMD Medical Reference



People lose hair for various reasons. Illness and medication (like chemotherapy to treat cancer) can cause



hair loss. Hair loss can also be inherited from a parent. Often, hair thins because it is fine-textured -- or be



cause too many harsh chemicals have been used on it -- so it breaks easily.



These are hair-care tips to help protect hair, prevent further hair loss, and add volume to your existing hair.



1. Try Coloring



If you inherited a tendency for hair loss, you likely have very healthy hair overall. Therefore, your hair can



benefit from permanent or semi-permanent color to give body and volume to hair.



Medications can weaken hair, causing it to break or fall out. Semi-permanent color is good in this case,



too, because it does not contain ammonia or peroxide. It will not damage hair, but will give it body and



volume.



If your hair is fine-textured, semi-permanent or permanent color is fine, as long as it is professionally



applied. Colored hair can easily get over-processed, which damages it, causing further hair loss.



2. Use Volumizing Products



Many volume-building hair products contain paraffin, which is beeswax. That's not good for hair, because



it builds up and can make hair break.



However, volumizing products sold in salons do help. They won't weigh hair down, and they won't



damage it. Mousse, for example, can be applied at the root area for support. Then, begin blow-drying the



root area, applying tension with a brush to build volume. Use a light finishing spray to hold it.



3. Shampoo and Condition Your Hair When Dirty



To protect hair, the best practice is to shampoo only when hair is dirty. Because fine hair gets dirty faster,



people with fine-textured hair need to shampoo more frequently -- even though fine hair breaks more easily.



For that reason, fine-textured hair benefits from a good shampoo and volume-building conditioner.



4. Find a Style That Suits Fine Hair



Blow dryers should not be a problem, even if you have fine hair. However, be very careful about putting



high heat directly onto hair. Flat irons and curling irons can cause damage and breakage.



Because they contain very strong chemicals, curl-relaxing products are a no-no for fine hair.



5. Get a Permanent Wave



Permanents can help give volume to fine-textured hair -- but hair must be healthy, not dry or brittle. Only



a gentle body wave is advised, because tighter waves can damage the hair. Because chemicals in perma-



nents are harsh, a permanent should be only a last resort for fine-haired people.



Again, make sure a professional stylist gives you your permanent, so that hair is not damaged.
