the average human loses over 1000 strands of hair daily....if it's not noticeably thinning, you have nothing to worry about.

a little hair loss is normal, especially if you straighten your hair, which can really take it's toll. A recent die job can also cause hair loss.A lot of loss might be a medical problem. mention it to your doctor.

^ i think that first person [Lauren] meant to say "alopecia". its a disease that childern are BORN with, with bald spots on their head usually. i doubt that is the case for you. everyone loses a certain amount of hair per day, so as long as it's not chunks of hair.. i'm sure it's perfectly fine.

Usually stress, blow drying and applying heat, genetic reasons and a poor diet are the main reasons for hair loss. It may also be because of frequent hair wash that can make your hair fragile. There aren't many treatments for hair loss apart from the ones your doctor can recommend. Try to eliminate applying heat, reduce stress levels, eat healthily and visit your doctor for more support.

maybe its genetic, or u take really hot long showers, which can cause your hair to fall.. :T

I would start at the Doctor's office, there are many reasons for hairloss.

If your hair loss is great[in large clumps] then visit the doctor for a examination.

Is your hair just falling out or can you see that it's thinner when you look at your scalp? If the hair on your scalp is less I would go see a doctor. You might have a condition that causes your hair to fall out and if so a doctor can help you. If not then you're either just shedding (which is normal) or you have premature balding. I don't know if there's much you can do about that.

I have a friend who has very very thin hair. You can see her scalp easily, which is kind of sad, but she's always had hair that was unusually thin.

when u were in europe whatever hair products u used keep using them. i think if u switched ur hair is not responding right becuz it is new and not used to it. maybe its something ur eating. do u have short hair now?

Losing my hair at 17...helppp?

you might have a condition called alopecia, which can be treated by a doctor, my sister lost almost all of her hair a the age of fifteen, but with treatment she eventually grew it all back. check for bald patches, esp on the crown and back of your head. Your doctor will send you to a dermatologist. It is rare in young people but it may be a possibility, I really hope it isn't.

I used to lose my hair too! When i was 15, me and my family went to Kau`i and went we got back, i started to lose my hair (same as you, in the shower i noticed it). my doctor said it was Alopecia. So I started to use Head and Shoulders shampoo and used Rogaine everyday. and about 4 months later it grew back! maybe you should try the gentle head and shoulders and/or Rogaine. just a thought.

Well that sucks! Umm, I had the same problem, and I still kinda do! If you change up your shampoo it should stop. Try getting two different shampoo's in your shower and switch them up everytime you get in. If you have thick hair, try getting a cream for your hair for damaged hair. It works great. Practice not using the straightener. That could help!

I recommend you see your doctor. For young woman, hair loss can sometimes be related to hormone deficiencies or others such as folic acid. How is your thyroid? Are you eating well? There are also vitamin regimines that you an buy that focus on hair and nail growth. By the way, I had trouble with Pantene and don't recommend it or Pert. Not sure about garneer. All said, this sounds like some kind of imbalance and you should have a complete physical.

Losing my hair at 17...helppp?

1st, the longer your hair, the more you'll lose.

Your shampoo is not the culprit.

Also:

vitamin deficiencies

if you wear your hair alot in ponytails or tight clips

You may want to see a dermatologist to rule out alopecia.

ever since i came to canada from europe-

different water ... believe or not.... water has chemicals in it and could be a or one of the reasons why your hair is falling out!

straighten my hair once a week or so-

HEAT PERIOD IS BAD!! NO MATTER WHAT AMOUNTS!

get a roller set and sit under the dryer-wash/set/and wrap

oh and i wash it every third day or so- wash your hair once a week or every other week..when you wash your hair to much ..you are washing the natural minerals out o your hair not good!!!

i used to use shampoo and condicioner from pantine for a long time, and now i switched to garneer- maybe you should go back to what you were using or a differnt product...I use garneer to and I dont think its making my hair any longer like I want so Im in the process of switching products as well!!!

im losing way too much hair :(:(- losing hair can come from numerous reasons.... some can be from stree..you might be stressed...so try to change that or It might be in the family.... which is out of your hands...then you would have to take a diff. route...

Good Luck girly

I am no doctor or rocket scientist, but I would say that maybe you should see a doctor. We do loose alot of hair daily naturally and I am not sure of the number. But in your case it seems a little much! One thing I do know and that is hair products(hairdresser) and Pantene is nothing but loaded down in waxy chemcials that do make the hiar shiny, but at what cost. go to the doctor and be safe, then consider changing your shampoo and conditioner to something in the Paul Mitchell ,Nexu, or Kenra line. Something professional, it will make a difference in your hairs appearance,health and condition.

It could be your diet, medications/birth control., stress-induced, etc.

Just check with your doctor.

could be stress related from moving. but go to ur doctor, probably nothing but its better to find out early to fix it if anything is wrong. maybe u have some deficiantcy in something.

you can get alopecia from various thing,you are not just born with it.it doesnt always affect your whole head.i had a huge bald spot in my hair and it was from not eating right etc.you can see a dermotologist and get cortisone shots in your scalp if you have bald spots.its really just a prick not like a needle.it hasnt happened since
