Before my hair used to be healthy,soft and fat but now they are falling down everyday i see so many hair of mine on the floor . i eat fruits and vegetables and i even sleep straight but my hair is going thinker and thinker. Can somebody give me any advice please.
Hi, June. How much hair do you think you are losing a day? When did it first start? Do you chemically process (perm or color) your hair? Do you have any unusual symptoms other than losing a lot of hair? Try not shampooing your hair for 24 hours. Then grasp about 60 hairs between the thumb, index finger and the middle finger. Pull gently but firmly and see how many hairs come out. If fewer than 6 hairs come out, you are experiencing normal shedding. However, if more than 6 hairs are pulled out, it is in the process of active shedding. Does your parents notice if your hair is thinning? If it is truly the case, go to the doctor to make sure you don't have an underlying problem that is causing the hair loss, like lack of vital vitamins, etc.
