hair loss- worried

hi recently i've been noticing that a lot of my hair has just been falling out and i don't really know the cause.

My mother has the theory that it's just thinning for the summer because i naturally have quite thick hair but it's really worrying me. I don't even over-straighten or anything as i know this makes quite a lot of hair come out. so any help or ideas would be appreciated?! thanks

I presume you're taking exams right now? Hair loss can often be down to stress, so if you're particularly stressed out at the minute it can be a cause of your hair loss. Its not permanent and your hair will grow back, the most important thing is not to worry (as that creates more stress and makes things worse).

My hair loss increases when I dye it - have you dyed yours recently?

It may be a hormonal thing, it may be a 'time of the year' thing, or it could be something more serious. Have you lost weight recently? Drastic weight loss can cause hair loss.

If you're worried, go see your GP.

My friend started losing her hair - she had a blood test and they found she had low iron levels. Solved with tablets, and she now has lovely hair again :biggrin:

Could be this, the summer. It could also be stress, because of exams (are you doing exams?) It could be some kind of hormone levels thing - are your periods & all that normal? Have you noticed anything else wrong? Maybe make a trip to your doctor...

Stress can do that.
