It's started falling out loads more than usual. Shes not blow drying or straightening, and only brushes once a day. She changes her hair products and doesn't feel stressed at the moment. It's not patchy and she's not looking bald or anything, (yet!!) but just where shes used to getting a few loose hairs in her brush like everyone, over the last few weeks shes been getting 10 times as much. Anyone got any ideas???

She could be anemic or deficient in some other vitamin or mineral. She could also have a thyroid problem. It could be a side effect to medications. Or, it could very possibly be due to stress. She needs to go to her health care provider and have some bloodwork obtained. I am a nurse practitioner.

What causes hair loss?
Everyone loses approximately 100 hairs every single day throughout life. On average blondes and brunettes each have about 150,000 or so hairs on their head--fewer for redheads. The hairs grow at a rate of six inches a year, then rest. They rest as part of the normal life cycle, and then fall out after four to five years. Hair loss occurs when either the lost hairs are not replaced or more of the follicles go into the resting phase. The exact cause might be:
Hormone Changes
Male-Pattern Baldness-Receding hair line with a bald spot on the crown
About one in four men has already started to lose his hair before the age of 30, and by the time they are 60 years old, two out of three men are bald or going bald.
Female Pattern Baldness-Overall thinning
Pregnancy
Menopause
Fungal Infections of the Scalp
Chronic Diseases, such as:
Thyroid Disorders
Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism
Diabetes
Lupus
Stress
Major Surgery
Labor
Medications
Anticoagulants
Antidepressants
Birth Control Pills
Gout Medicine
Chemotherapy
Beta Blockers
Blood Thinners (warfarin, heparin)
Medicines for the Prevention of Ulcers
Several Drugs Used to Treat Arthritis (among them gold, methotrexate)
Certain Antibiotics (nitrofurantoin)
Some Cough Medicines (those containing iodine)
Some Thyroid Medication
Amphetamines
Isotretinoin or Other Derivatives of Vitamin A
Severe Malnutrition
Anorexia
Bulimia
Zinc Deficiency
Vitamins
Excess Vitamin A or E
Tugging ("traction alopecia")
Corn Rows
Rollers
Pony Tails
Damage from Cosmetic Processing
Bleaching
Permanents
Coloring
Curling Irons
How can I sort out what is responsible for my hair loss?
To determine the cause of hair loss, a dermatologist will first take a thorough patient history.
The physician will ask questions regarding medications, recent illness, diet, hair care, (and menstrual cycle, if applicable).
In some cases blood tests or a scalp biopsy (skin sample) may be done.
Will the hair grow back?
Whether or not hair will re-grow depends upon the specific cause of the hair loss.
Hair lost from falling out or breakage from processing will come back; however, if chemicals caused scarring, bald spots will be permanent
When a patient stops taking medicines or chemotherapy, hair growth will resume.
Curing an infection should fix the problem.
A few months after giving birth, a woman's hair should begin to fill in.
Going off of the pill should reverse hair loss from the contraceptive.
Correcting hormonal imbalances (of either the female and male hormones, estrogens and androgens, or of thyroid hormones) prevents additional hair loss, but hair may not re-grow.
Is there anything I can do about my receding hairline?
Male- and female- pattern baldness are inherited, so they are unavoidable. Hair transplantation is the only permanent solution. FDA-approved treatment products retard hair loss in some individuals, but the drugs are less effective at stimulating new growth:

I visited the doctor on several occasions for the same thing, when I washed my hair it was really frightening the amount of hair that came out. Eventually I had my ferritin level checked, this is the iron stores within the body, although your haemoglobin level can be okay so you do not appear to be anaemic your ferritin levels can be low and this can lead to hair loss, mine was extremely low, I took Iron tablets for a long period and although you may not always have regrowth of the hair that was lost it does stop falling out. My level was only 4 the norm should be around 18 and the level it needs to be for hair regrowth is believe it or not around 60 (this level was given to me by the specialist) once at this level obviously reduce the iron intake. Do get her to see the doc and specifically ask for the ferritin level to be checked, they are always very quick to put it down to stress and the haemoglobin level does not always show any problems. Good luck
