Answers:
There are many reasons that your hair could be thinning!. It could well be a hormonal reason!.

Women have certain levels of testosterone in their bodies, and sometimes hormonal shifts can create changes in hair, namely the thinning of hair or hair growth elsewhere on the body!.

However, it very well could be stress-related or even vitamin overload!.

Here are few common causes of hair-loss or hair growth in women:

> Physical or Emotional Stress or Illness: surgery, illness, anemia, rapid weight change, mental illness, death of a family member!.

High fevers, severe infections or chronic illnesses can result in hair loss!.

You may begin losing hair one to three months after a stressful situation, such as major surgery!.

Try to establish a healthy routine to reduce any stress!.

> Thyroid abnormalities or an underactive thyroid!.

> Hormonal causes: pregnancy, birth control pills, menopause!.

> Medication - Drugs used to treat cancer, blood thinners, antidepressants and high blood pressure medications, as well as birth control pills and high doses of vitamin A, Blood pressure or Gout medications may cause hair loss!.

> Diet - Too little protein and too little iron in your diet can lead to hair loss!.

If you are a vegetarian, then that, too, can affect hair loss since a lack of iron can contribute to the problem!.

You might want to consider getting checkup and get your iron levels check!.

I hope this helps!

Good Luck! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would call your doctor and ask them!. One reason your hair might fall out though is if you aren't being healthy with your eating!. If you are anorexic or bulimic that would cause hair loss!. So just keep that in mind if that is the case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stress maybe!?

Do you have exams !?

Dunno really !.!.!. hope its okay!!
