My hair is falling - please help?

As a girl, my hair is very important to me.

I have hair down to my waiste (kinda long) and it is naturally very straight. Back when i was younger, like 7 or 8, i had very thick hair, but as soon as i reached my teens, my hair started falling it (possibly because of stress, i really dont know)

I dont want to cut my hair short at all...all i've ever done is had trims. Ive never straightenned my hair ever and i dont use many products in my hair at all - its all natural

so i cant think why my hair is falling because its gone very thin and looks flat on my head now. I'm only 18 so its not because of old age!

What can i do?

My hair is falling - please help?

This happened to me a few years ago... it was due to stress and shock..

its very distressing... i want to the doctors and was put on some tablets, which kind of helped!

I had to get cut my hair quite short, like the old Halle Berry style, which i wasn't too annoyed with as it looked great.. after a few months my hair start to go back thick and healthy, and i used hair extension to go back to long hair... This was about 3years ago when i 19years old...

..But the best healer - is stop worrying/stressing! I know it can be difficult, but try to take some time out for yourself, and relax..!

Best of luck

Have your thyroid function checked with a simple blood test by your doctor. An underactive thyroid can cause dry, brittle and thinning of your hair, among many other symptoms.

I would go and see your GP. It could be stress-related alopecia.

Am not a professional by no means but you should try using shampoo with regenium (think thats the correct spelling). many good quality brands have this such as loreal (the one with the red label i think). Best of luck with that, once you get your volume back you should try massaging a raw egg in your hair, my girlfriend does this every now and again and her hair is incredibly silky. If you try this though, always remember to rinse out the egg with cold water (if you use warm the egg sets and it will take hours to get out!!)

As already stated I would get thyroid checked, also it could be a general hormonal imbalance, Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause hair loss, also are you getting enough Iron in your diet.

At your age are you going through exams at school/college this can cause stress which again is another factor.

There are as you can see from your answers already a lot of different things. Best thing is to go see your GP and hopefully that will solve it.

Dont cut your hair yet as it will only make you feel worse wait to see what the GP tells you.

I am old enough to be your mother and can tell you my hair is thinning because of "old age" not a happy thought LOL%26gt;

I would recommend cutting it--but not to a short length. I'm just like you with the length thing.....I will never go short, but last year, because my curls were out of control and didn't look very full. It worked for a while, but a couple months later, my hairdresser gave me layers, and one layer in the front is so short I'm always pulling it back!! So I recommend a 2 inch trim and some minimal layers on the ends to give the look of more volume. it this doesn't work, I recommend either a weave or extensions. They're pricey and take a few hours to put in the first time, but if you want your beautiful hair to be thicker, that's what I suggest.

Good luck!!!
