Im losing my hair

[courtney19]

It started a few months ago. I lose about Id say a few hundred hairs a day, after a shower i brush my hair and the comb is full of hair, after just one sweep of my head. The thing is my hair keeps growing thicker and i keep losing it...... What could this be? Anyone else experiencing something like this?
Thanks

Courtney.. I haven't seen you on here in a while..congrats on the weightloss.. You might want to talk with a doctor to see if there is something you can take to help with the hair loss.. One lady I was talking to Sunday at church said her daughter lost a lot of hair and she went to a Natural doctor and they had her take some kind of herb for hairloss...

There are several threads on hair loss, you might do a search. Several have said taking Biotin helps hairs and fingernails. Mostly from what I understand, your body goes into a bit of a shock with the change in diet. It's stressing a little and lets go of hair. The good news is, it grows back just fine, at least as thick as before.

I hope it stops coming out soon!

what you are experiencing is called telogen Effluvium and as Loose shoes says is caused by the body going into a type of shock brought on by major changes - ie -major diet. It usually sets in about 3 months after starting a diet . the good news is it is temporary and will grow back nicely . Saw Palmetto is a great supplement for hair loss.. ( can you tell I am a hairdresser?? lol )

Dont worry. Happened to me after about a month being on Atkins. Lost tons of hair, they were literally EVERYWHERE.... Biotin and gelatin etc are helpful, but dont worry.... exactly what folks said - this is your body reaction as you are in stress ( heavy body mass loss looks like stress, so your body reacts accordingly).
