I used to have REALLY thick, full, dark hair but this year I've noticed that everytime i run my hand through my hair, about 5-10 hairs come out, and everytime i brush my hair, even more come out. In the shower, I lose about 100 hairs.
I haven't dyed my hair or chemically treated it.
For the past months, however, I used a lot of flat ironing and blow drying. I have split ends as well on teh top layer of my hair.
Could this be why my hair is falling out?
Is there a solution to it???
Please help, I'm only 14 and I don't want to have almost no hair...=(
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? Everyone's hair sheds a bit. Because you've been excessivley using flat iron and blow dryer, that drys out your hair causing weak roots, split ends, and unhealthy hair. But if your really concered about your hair falling out, then try these remedies to prevent hair loss.
Make a drink blending bananas, honey, yougurt, and low fat milk. This drink is rich in biotin and will help your hair have strong roots, to prevent it from falling.
Bend your head while shampooing, and massage your scalp. This will increase the blood circulation to the scalp.
Get Sufficiant sleep. Like a healthy body, healthy hair needs a good sleep.
~Having healthy hair is very important for preventing hair loss.~
So if you have a lot of split ends, get a trim. About once every 3 months is good.
Make sure your hair is hydrated, not dry. Here are some homemade remidies you can try:
Mush 8 strawberries w/ 1 tablespoon of mayonaise. Massage into hair, Put a shower cap over it, then a warm towel, leave in for 1/2 hour. Then wash out.
~This will give your hair a rich gloss, and moisture.~
Instead of rinsing your hair w/ warm water, rinse it w/ cold water, this will close the cuticle in your hair.
~ Gives nice shine, for healthy looking hair~
Do not shampoo your hair everyday. Infact, washing your hair every 2-3 days makes your hair healthy! Because, washing your hair everyday robs the essential oils from your hair, and drys your scalp and hair.
Always condition your hair after shampooing, conditioning softens the cuticle of your hair, which hydrates it and makes it healthy.
Deep condition once a week. (I like using Garnier Fructis 3 min. conditioner)
Apply natural oils to your hair, (Olive oil, Coconut oil, almond oil, etc.) Apply generous amounts of oil to your hair, (Lots on the ends). Put a shower cap over it, and leave overnight, when its morning, wash it out.
~ Gives hair a nice gloss, healthy looking, and very hydrating.~
Don't Brush your hair when its wet. Whenyour hair is wet, it is the weakest, and brushing your hair will damage it.
Avacados are great for your hair! Mix 1 avacado w/ 1 tablespoon of olive oil, rub onto hair, and leave on for 10 min. Then rinse out.
Use a Natural Boar Bristle Brush. It will take your natural oils from your hair and smooth it out to your hair. It also straightens it a bit.
~Giving your hair a natural gloss, and a fresher smooth~
Mix 2 eggs w/ a little bit of milk, beat lightly, massage into hair, leave in for 5 min. then rinse out.
Go out for a nice walk on a sunny day, sunlight has an excelent source of Vitamin D.
~Will give shine and healthy looking hair~
Also, chemicals can damage your hair, like shampoos and conditioners are FILLED with chemicals. So, you only need about a drop size of shampoo if you have short hair, and about a walnut size if you have long. Add water to dilute the shampoo so, it seems like you have more to spread.
Don't use a blow dryer after you wash your hair, let it air dry. And when you dry your hair w/ a towel, don't rub, just blott your hair.
Try to limit your use of flat ironing, because it will damage your hair.
Drink plenty of water, because water hydrates your skin and hair!

I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? Everyone's hair is like that.
If you have thick hair, it's GOING to be like that.
100 hairs being lost a day, sounds fine.
Nothing is wrong, unless you start pulling out those 100+ hairs out at the same time.
Trust me, my friend has thick hair.
Anyone and everyone who has to mess with it, has told her that.
Her hair normally falls out.
It's natural.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? call me up....we can probably take care of it. No i'm just playing....don't take hot showers and stop using all that hair product crap. Go to a doctor and they'll shoot steroids in your head to stop the problem. I'm serious.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? did you change your shampoo??
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? there are hair strengthening shampoos available in the market like pantene. Over styling your hair may cause it to fall but one reason also that may have contributed in you hair fall is stress.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? We lose hair every day. If I remember right,{In my beauty school days} 100 hairs a day is normal. Sounds scary I know. But your ok. Just keep your hair trimmed and talk with your hair stylist. He or she will give you good tips on keeping your hair healthy. Also, Stress and what you eat can cause hair lost. But I feel your ok.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? your hair is extremely damaged you should see a professional hairstylist. don't be afraid to cut your hair it will only grow back healthier.make sure to always cut split ends for healthy hair and don't using heating appliances to your hair everyday it only makes it brittle and more damaged. if you use heating appliances use a hair serum or cream that will protect against the heat while you straighten your hair.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? If you think it is a problem ,go to the doctor,there are lots of things to look at with regard to hair loss. If it is proved not to be a medical problem the answer is probably the products etc that you use.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? As pp said, most people lose 100 hairs or so per day. I have long hair - thin but a lot of it. I noticed more hair loss a year or so ago. Turns out I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Well, I had many other hypothyroid symptoms as well. I'm 39 though, it would be rare for you to have a thyroid problem at your age, and you would most likely notice weight gain, coldness, fatigue, other problems.
Anyway, I would lay off the heat appliances as much as possible. Try to be as gentle as possible. If you can go somewhere and put your hair up instead of styling it, do that. If you are staying at home don't even shampoo your hair, or at least don't blow dry or style it. If you do dry your hair don't hold the dryer too close and don't run it on dry hair as that will start frying it right away. Use the lowest heat possible. Use a heat protection spray if you can find one that doesn't gunk up your hair. Even if you cut down your heat styling to every other day it will help SO much. Get the split ends cut off as they will only keep splitting up and ruining new healthy hair growing in! Use a deep conditioner once a week or so. I also think sulfate-free shampoos are good (like Burt's Bees) as sulfates can damage hair follicles (although that's a controversial topic). I know it's hard to not style hair. Mine usually looks crappy in the AM and feels funky, and if I don't style with heat it's flatter and blah - but all that's taken a toll on my hair so I am trying to be much gentler on it.
If you can cut down big time on the flat ironing that would help of course - I've heard no matter what brand iron you use they are all pretty harsh on hair.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? loosing 100 strands a day is pretty normal, dont worry about it.
hair falling is mainly caused by stress. r u under any stress lately? if u r try to take care of it coz stress contributes to over 50% of our hair loss
stop worrying about ur hair loss now coz this will add more stress and more hair loss
treat ur hair with deep conditions like hair masks from loreal or oil replacement from pantene 3 times a week
do hot oil treatment once a week using olive oil.
massage ur scalp by using a wide toothed comb to brush through ur hair, press on the scalp slowly but firmly.
i know u'd b scared to comb ur hair coz u r afraid of losing more hair but combing actually hepls coz u stimulate the blood circulation in the scalp which helps to nourish the hair
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? It's normal. I have REALLY thick hair and I lose a lot of hair everyday. It's just part of life.

FALLING HAIR -
Does your hair fall a lot? Don't worry, you're not alone. Millions of people from all around the world suffer from dry, brittle and weak hair. Some of the possible reasons for falling hair are:
Tension
Too much work
Illness
Poor diet
Over-exposure to the sun
Perming
Amateur bleaching
Too frequent and inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colourants
Here is what you can do to prevent hair fall
Shampoo regularly. Remember, a CLEAN scalp is a HEALTHY SCALP.
Brahmi amla oil also promotes hair growth.
A high protein diet with plenty of fruits, green vegetables and dairy products is a must.
Drink 10-12 glass of water everyday.
Use a very mild shampoo and condition your hair at least twice a week. When you do, make sure you rinse out the conditioner thoroughly, otherwise residue build-up will cause your hair to look limp and dull.
Know your vitamins! IRON is important for healthy hair and brittle, limp hair indicates an iron deficiency. Spinach has a good iron content, so gulp it down!
ZINC helps prevent hair loss and greying. Eat adequate zinc rich foods. Overweight people tend to have zinc deficiency, which is inversely related to the body mass index. Thus if you are overweight and if your hair falls too much, you may want to increase your intake of zinc containing foods. Recipes containing stone ground, wholegrain flour are rich in zinc.
A shortfall in VITAMIN B may cause dandruff, falling hair, loss of colour and could encourage grey hair. So B group Vitamins are essential for gloss, colour and thickness.
VITAMIN C ensures the health of capillaries supplying blood to hair follicles. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.
VITAMIN E encourages hair growth. Switch from refined flours to wholemeal and wheatgerm, eggs, vegetable oil.
COPPER stops hair from falling. Studies show that the copper content in the blood serum of people with falling hair is less than normal. Different types of alopecia (falling hair) are seen to have a deficiency of this important trace element. Include small quantities of nuts, especially cashews and peanuts, seeds, whole milk and beans in your diet as these contain minute but important amounts of copper.
Homemade remedies for preventing hair fall:
Apply almond oil on scalp and massage.
Grind fenugreek seeds in water and apply on your scalp. Wash off after 40 minutes. Do this every morning for a month 闅哣 if it suits you! Remember, different treatments suit different types of hair.
Massage warm castor oil + almond oil into your scalp gently. Wrap a hot towel around your scalp so it gets absorbed into the hair. Do this twice a week for healthy, shiny hair.
Add 2-3 drops of honey to a glass of water and use this as the last rinse after shampooing.
Quick Hair Care Conditioner
Mix 1 egg, 2 tbs castor oil, 1 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp glycerine. Beat until frothy and massage lightly into your scalp. Wrap your head in a hot towel, steam, then wash off. This conditioner makes hair thicker, shiny, soft and manageable.
Honey Conditioner
Beat 1-2 eggs (depending on the length of the hair), 1 tsp honey and 2 tsp olive oil. Massage gently into the scalp. Steam, and shampoo after an hour.
Alcohol Conditioner
Beat 1-2 eggs with 2 tsp brandy. Massage into your scalp. Leave for 10-15 mins. Rinse well. The egg nourishes your hair and brandy stimulates hair growth.
Your hair is a vital beauty asset, requiring constant loving care. And with a little nurturing, lush, glossy hair will be yours
ESSENTIALS FOR FALLING HAIR -
Does your hair fall often Arm yourself with these tools to combat hair fall.
Wide-toothed comb
Get yourself a wide-toothed comb. This is probably one of the most important yet underutilized of all hair tools. A wide-toothed comb helps you distribute conditioner evenly all over your hair while shampooing and conditioning. In addition, it also helps get rid of knots smoothly.
The best time to get rid of knots is during conditioning. Apply conditioner and run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair.
While untangling dry hair, do so in sections. Take one section at a time, and first, untangle the ends of your hair. Do so slowly, and don?t pull unless you want your hair to fall out in clumps or break.
Don?t wait for the last minute before detangling your hair. Every night, while sitting in front of the television, run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair, until you have untangled it completely. Do this every night, and you will notice that your hair remains free from tangles.
Leave-in conditioner
Dry hair tends to tangle easily, and, needless to say, causes it to break. Make sure your hair is never devoid of moisture by always keeping a bottle of leave-in conditioner handy. The next time you feel your hair is dry and rough to the touch, simply rub a dollop of leave-in conditioner between your palms, and apply it to your hair. Comb through with your wide toothed comb. Your hair will be instantly rejuvenated and moisturized. Gradually, the texture will also improve. This is a must if you blow dry your hair regularly, or if it is chemically treated. Such hair constantly craves moisture, so get yourself a bottle of leave-in conditioner.
Oil
Olive, almond and coconut oils are all excellent for the hair. While you could apply oil as an alternative to leave-in conditioner, oil tends to make your hair sticky, and you cannot style your hair well after applying oil. Your only alternative would then be to tie up your hair. For better results with oil, apply just a few drops immediately after washing your hair, when your hair is still dripping wet. Oil doesn?t penetrate the strands as easily as leave-in conditioner does though. Nothing beats a hot oil massage followed by a steam treatment, as the steam helps the oil penetrate the hair strands, strengthening them and curtailing hair fall.
Egg
Egg is great for the hair ? there are no two ways about it! True, it causes a tremendous stink in the bathroom, and your hair may let off an ?eggy? smell, but the results are instantaneous and worth it! Egg strengthens your hair almost immediately, and the egg yolk leaves your hair shining. Whip an egg with two tablespoons of olive oil and apply it to your hair. Wash off after half an hour. Make sure you wash off with cold water though, or the egg will start cooking in your hair, and would be harder to take off! Use a scented shampoo to counter the smell of egg in your hair, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Do this for a month, and you will be amazed by the change in your hair texture and the reduction in hair fall.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? u better start moustorising. and if u dont like moustorizing u better start looking at wig shops. i recomend Neutrogina moustorizer. works really well. should keep your hair on lol. try not to brush it so much. let your hair grow out. let it all grow out. so u dont have the split ends on the top. grow it out so u dont hav layers. its easier to work with anyways. then get a haircut. cut it to shoulder length or so. it will stay thicker. then u can get layers.
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? Try not to worry too much about. I'm the same age as you and the same thing happens to me to. It's because your hair is going through a cycle - it's completly normal, it happens to everyone ;-)
I'm 14 and my hair is falling out!? Falling of hair is sort of normal. It increases in some particular season. Don't worry about it unless its situation resembles mine. I used to beautiful, long and extremely thick hair. But last winter my hair started to fall so badly that my hair became comparatively much thinner. I guess it was because I didn't take care of it. In your case, I guess, it is because of use of artificial methods in your hair. According to me, use of chemicals %26amp; artificial things are not good for hair. Some tips are :
1. Don't wash your hair daily, atleast if its not too messy.
2. Don't use exccesss of shampoo.
3. Keep them well nourished.
4. Don't experiment with your hair.
5. Don't use chemicals and artificial hair colours etc., atleast if u r not used to it.
Some people say that change of shampoo may affect hair. Its just rubbish. It doesn't harm your hair. Just start taking good care your hair from now %26amp; they will get better soon.
