From what I understand it is perfectly normal for people to shed a little hair once or twice a year, right? For years my hair has thinned a little in the spring and fall, and I never worried about it at all, as it usually lasted about a week or so. I have really really thick hair so it didn't show anyway.
Well my hair started shedding this spring like it normally does... but it hasn't stopped this time around. I don't have clumps coming out or bald spots. Gray hairs, brown hairs, all different lengths, so coming evenly from all over, a few hairs at a time. The entire hair is coming loose, it is not breaking off. My scalp is not irritated in any way. I have not changed shampoos that I remember. I know stress will cause hair loss, but I am not a particularly stressed-out person.
Is there some sort of vitamin I need to get my hair to stay in? I admit I am a junk food junkie and do not eat well at all. My shedding is not evident to anyone else, but it's getting annoying to me.
Or should I just suck it up and go to a ((gulp))...d...doc...doctor:eek:
(Oh and I'm female, by the way)
