Why am I losing so much hair?

ok hun, first rule of taking good hair care is DO NOT BRUSH YOUR HAIR WHEN IT IS WET NO MATTER THE SITUATION!!

your hairs week point is when its wet, and if you brush it when it is wet, you will break it and damage the roots etc.

second make sure you are not using conditioner on your scalp. when you use conditioner, tie your hair in a pony tail, and that is how you know what part of your hair to use conditioner on. make sure your shampoo doesnt have any harmfull substances of course, and finaly i would suggest you check up with a hair proffesionalist. The sooner you find out whats going on the better. Who knows, maybe you are one of those few women who start hair loss in their early age, so get a checkup just in case.

p.s. dont use shampoo on the rest of your hair besides the hair on your scalp! it breaks the hairs!

Why am I losing so much hair?

It is natural to lose a small amount of hair in the daily grooming process. If it is substantially more than usual, look for the offending factor. What have you changed recently? Shampoo, conditioner, body lotions, and take a very close look at your diet and medications..especially birth control meds. I've been a licensed hairdresser for over 30 years, it is usually something simple that you have overlooked. Don't panic but agressively examine everything you take into your system that is different now. Everything you take in affects your hair. Stress is also a determining factor, everything in your life in check? Good luck.
