Losing LOTS of hair?

I've been losing LOTS of hair for the past few months and it is really beginning to scare me. I'm talking handfulls everytime I shower, brush, etc. I used to have thick hair, and now it is really thin. I have wavy-curly hair and often I either straighten it or wear it up. I am really afraid, actually. At this rate I'll be bald pretty quickly.

Any advice?

I do take a multivitamin, exercise, etc.

I am also a first year university student. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Any advice would be appreciated. I am really scared. Thanks.

Any doctor will tell you not to stress over it because stressing only makes it worse. You can do blood tests to make sure your thyroid gland is working properly. Till then do not over process your hair. Hair sprays, gels, hot irons, try not to over heat the follicles of your hair. It might just be hormonal. It might even be genetics. It is also normal to lose up to 100 hair a day. Make an appointment with your doctor. Every person is different. I have the same problem.

Try eating protein, and lots of it. Hair and nails need protein to grow. Also, if you aren't 45 or older, you should ask your doctor if you have leukemia. It can be frightening, but it's better to know the truth.

I had a friend in H.S. who lost quite a bit of her hair from an iron deficiency.

Stress can certainly cause hair loss. Constantly straightening your hair could damage it to the point where it just falls out and the hair regrows. There are other reasons that hair can fall out, hormones, etc. If it's really starting to look thin, maybe chat with a doc. Why worry if you can be sure it's nothing?

I am having the exact problem, and I am also worried that if it keeps going like this pretty soon I will be bold. And I do the same thing you do, my hair is wavy curly and I straighten it but with a blow dryer not the iron. I don't know what shampoo and conditioner you use, but I was using DOVE for extremly damaged hair and I noted that the hair was falling more and more, so last week I changed it to another shampoo and it seems that it doesn't fall as much as it did before, but still falls.
