How can I stop my hair from shedding excessively???

My hair is mid-back long and it sheds soooo much!!! Everytime I brush/comb, shower or just play with my hair a lot falls off!!! What can I do? They are all over the place and my hair is starting to lose its volume. HELLPP!!!

OK... it's normal to lose anywhere from 40 to 100 hairs a day. If your hair is very long it's going to seem like alot more than if its short just from the length of each hair. But if you notice the actual diameter (how big around it is) of your hair is also smaller than it used to be than it could be a form of alopecia(hair loss) and you should see your doctor. There is a syndrome that can include hair loss that you should check to see if you have other symptoms of called polycystic ovarian syndrome which is a SYNDROME not a disease so don't get freaked out! You can check for other symptoms of this @ soulcysters.com . But probably its just that you have long hair so those hundred hairs seem excessive!Keep washing and conditioning your hair with the proper products for your hair type and stop with the pony tails as that can cause breakage (traction alopecia) take vitamins and splurge on a scalp massage (or trade rubs with a friend!) And also realise that if you have your hair up for more than a day you are going to have more hairs trapped that would have shed if down( ie; 2 days up= 80 -200 hairs, 3 days = 120- 300 hairs) so you can see how that would seem huge when you brushed or washed it!

Maybe you are using the wrong shampoo/conditioner, maybe there is too much chemicals in it

Most of the time this happens because of stress or wearing tight hairdues (pony tails). The advice i can give you is to just relax a little more and try not to wear pony tails. By the way my hair used to fall off a lot when i washed my hair everyday. And its important not to wear too much conditionar. It makes your hair fall off too. Well thats it.

Sometimes when hair gets very long it starts to fall out some. Try trimming it about 4 inches. That may help. It worked for me.

STOP using so much conditioner! condition ends only. Pantene conditioner or any heavy conditioner will make your hair fall out more than normal shedding.

dont use harsh shampoos. use stuff for color treated or permed hair. if i were you id make a "tonic" out of 1 or 2 raw eggs, a fair amount of cinnamon, like a tsp of apple cider vinegar(takes oil out so its not flat and it minimizes your pores so the hair wont want to come out as easily),depending on your hair color-black tea for dark(will darken your hair and make it shinier and its really good for hair and skin) or green tea for light(same effects but w/o darkening your hair), put some plain yogurt if you have some, otherwise just skip it.



put this in your hair before showering(obviously mix/blend it well first massage it into your scalp(make sure theres enough cinnamon cuz thats wat helps w/ this part) and leave on for oh say 20 to 30 minutes. then rinse it out w/ a little shampoo. i hope it works for you. it did wonders on my hair.

Your hair is going to come out whether you like it or not! It's suppose to. On average you should lose 100 hairs per day! But if it seems excessive, start taking vitamins, eat healthier, increase your water intake. Stress can cause hair to fall out, depression can also. Pulling your hair back all the time can. Not conditioner, so whatever everyone else is saying is ridiculous. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONDITION YOUR HAIR, NOT JUST THE ENDS! Try adding layers in, you'll notice less shedding. Brush more than when you fix your hair, in the morning. Get scalp massages, this will increase blood flow to your scalp and promote new hair growth.

get a haircut, don't put it in ponytails for a while, and don't wash it everyday...just every other day.

I am too going through the same problem for the past 5 months, it started when i got my hair dyed to a medium brown color. I have been taking a prenatal vitamin and that seems to help, but only a little bit. I think stress has alot to do with it,but it's a catch 22 because i'm stressing about my hair! Try to relax and keep your mind off of it. And if you find out how to stop it, please let me know!! My girlfriend had the same problem after she dyed her hair and she said it took about 8 months to stop, crazy huh?

This could actually be the sign of a vitamin and mineral deficiency. You may want to up your daily vitamin regime or get on one if you're not already.
