Have you lost a lot of weight recently or not eating very much? That can cause your hair to fall out. Are you on any anti depressant medication? Some of those like lithium and depakote can cause hair loss. Vitamin deficiency is also another big factor. My mom had this problem and then she started taking multi vitamin and mineral supplement and her hair grew back fast in one month!
THYROIDS have them checked Report It

    • You don't loose your hair from cancer unless you are on kemo.(sp?) I wouldn't worry too much unless your hair is falling out in clumps.
    If you are stressed you could have a condition called Alopecia, eat more veggies and if you are on any drugs {don't take it offensive but it is a factor} than can be a factor also.
    are you anorexic..?
    honey its not cancer. ur hair falls out when u have radiation treatments.. are u under stress this can be a big factor also ur diet. i was at a time like u i was super scared to the point were i didnt want to brush my hair. it was all stress i started taking a multi vitamin and i completely stopped shedding
    Well girl I'm not much of an expert on this I'm not much of a hair doctor. But i can say that well for dogs they lose hair and shed hair cause of poor food nutrition
    You could be losing hair for various reasons, stress, vitamin deficiency, being allergic to something in your shampoo/conditioner, etc etc.

    Make sure you are taking your vitamins (buy a bottle of "multi-vitamins") and if you have been using the same shampoo/conditioner since the hair loss began, then switch to a completely different one and see if that helps. If you're extremely stressed, you need to find a way to de-stress.

    I truly don't believe you have cancer or anything as serious as that, but I do think you should go to the doctors and get checked out, just in case something is up with you. It's better to be safe than sorry, ya know?
    OK go to a doctor RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
