Hair falling out, tried everything suggested already?
Posted , 40 users are following.
Background info first, I am a 21 year old female, have dyed my hair a fair few times in the past, although I haven't done so now for about 8 months. Also did used to use a lot of heat styling on my hair, but do less of it now due to the hair loss.
It must be around 6 - 8 months now, that my hair has been falling out in significant amounts. When i wash my hair in the shower I lose clumps of it, then when i brush my hair (wet or dry) I lose another chunk of hair, and then if I ever decide to style my hair using heat (straighteners, curlers etc. which is rare now as I thought that could be contributing to the damage) then I lose another load of hair through that.
The condition of my hair is very thing and dry now, and I can see very subtle bald patches coming through on my scalp (although not noticeable). I thought it could be the damage from either to dying of my hair, or the heat styling, but nothing has changed since cutting them out. I have had my hair cut quite a few times as I thought that would help maintain the health of my hair, but still it continues to fall out.
I've been to the doctors, they've done blood tests, all of which have come back fine. I then went to our local health shop and asked a specialist some vitamin tablets she would recommend for my problem, to which she recommended some tablets which I have been taking for a few weeks, but not change. And they aren't cheap to buy, and I have now ran out of them but am unsure as to whether to buy another bottle because I have noticed no change.
I've also tried all the little tricks such as putting lots of conditioner on my hair so I can comb it through smoother and lose less hair, tying it up less so it doesn't pull so many on the hairs etc. but I haven't even noticed a slight difference.
I thought maybe it could be due to stress, even though I am not noticeably stressed, I do subconciously find myself becoming stressed sometimes.
But what can I do to help my condition? Is there any diet I can follow that might have the right nutrients in to help strengthen my hair? Because I'm lost for what else I can do, and I don't want to lose all my hair 
as it used to be so thick and healthy.

I didn't really think nuhairrx serum would work but it does! I was really surprised! It smells bad though, but doesn't stick on your hair. And I don't follow the instructions on the bottle because it makes my hair oily, I just mix it in my hand with my conditioner while showering and it works just as well.

Hi
My wife recently complained of losing lots of hair each day. I suggested she takes one Zinc and one vitamin D per day. Since about 4 months ago her hair does not fall out anymore, other than normal one or two dead hairs which is expected. No hair lasts forever.

Things that can make your hair Fall out:
> low protein in your diet. ( commonly found in meats)
> low levels of keratin , vitamin b and d. ( Found in most foods but if your body is low any multivitamin will bring these levels up)
> heat or chemical damage will break hair ( however not from the root )
> burnt or thin skin will hold less hair. ( hense when people age their hair is thinner due to thinner skin)
> hormonal imbalances can cause brief periods of general hair loss.
> stress or extended periods of emotional periods of life( so although this sounds odd stop worrying about the hair loss)
>low levels of iron in your diet , found in green vegetables like spinach , leafy greens and broccoli ( if you are a female with a heavy time of the month this is important anyway and could be a reason for general hair loss instead of patchy hair loss. )
So my best advice is a healthy diet , active lifestyle and make sure to eat meat and greens. Less heat find ways to style your hair without using heat. Such as if you love girls go to bed with wet hair in rags. If you want straight hair blow dry it straight apposed to drying it then straightening it and if this doesn't work a good heat defense spray . If you find your still worried then go to gp. When I went last week with a thumb sized missing patch , I was surprised how quick my gp reacted I thought he would laugh and think I was being overdramatic. But he ran whole bunch of blood tests and I have alopecia. It doesn't hurt to attend gp anyway as they can advise you the right amount of each food group and what vitamin rich foods you could eat to benefit your hair ").
Hope this helps hun x know this is a scary time but its okay there are some things you can proactively do and get the advise of your gp. ")

I didn't know that it's also an effect of pcos. I have pcos and been taking glucophage for a while now and I've been losing lots and lots of hair every time i wash it or just simply combing it. It's like im undergoing a chemo, should i b worried about it? They say the hair loss is for a short period but going back i think I've been having hair loss since last year. Now im afraid i might go bald.
