Hey girls :)
so I don't exactly have the thickest hair around, but for the past few months I have started to notice that I seem to be losing lots of hair. I'll wake up in the morning only to find my pillow covered in strands of hair. It doesn't appear to be getting thinner and you can't see bald patches or anything, which I suppose is a good thing. But I'm still a bit worried and just wanted to know if anyone has has the same problem and if so, what can I do about it?
Thanks a million xx

Georgie I would say the top three contributors to hair loss for women are Stress, alopecia (does hairloss run in your family for women maybe?), and if none of those, is it possible you have a thyroid problem? I have really thick hair, but started to lose it in chunks not only from stress but thyroid at the age of 23 (I'm 26 now). I think thyroid problems are a common and overlooked problem so research it and see? as for now try not to worry!! if you stress too much it will just make you lose your hair more from the stress itself :( don't worry!

I am going through the exact... EXACT same thing. I have telogen effluvium. It is sudden hair loss due to stress/surgery/any type of traumatic even to the body/anxiety/vaccinations. It can be caused by a lot of things. I am not your doctor but I am almost positive you have the same thing as me. Our hair goes through cycles such as growing, resting, and shedding. All that is happening is that something happened that caused a percentage of your hair follicles to go into the resting and shedding phase all at once. The good need is that if you have telogen effluvium which it sounds like you do, it is temporary. When your hairs fall out it is because a new one is replacing or pushing it out. It will all grow back. Now I will say this can be a long painful process. You need to not obsess about it. You will not go bald because every hair that is lost is being replaced. The most important thing to do is keep a healthy scalp to support the regrowth. This can last 3-6 months but in some cases can be chronic if the "trigger" is not eliminated. I have been going through it for 4 and a half months and I feel it is almost over.

Do the hairs you lose have white bulbs on the ends? That's another sign of telogen effluvium

And the hairloss should be diffuse (all over the scalp) and not patchy which can be alopecia which I don't think you have.

Endocrine issues and deficiencies often cause thinning of or loss of hair. It takes a simple blood panel to check. Good luck, hun.
