What is the cause of my hair loss?

hi.

im a 16 yr old boy and my hair has became very much more thinner than it used to be.

everytime i wash my hair round about 10-20 hairs fall out.

i also seem to have a dry scalp from time to time and my head does get a bit itchy too.

however, about a year ago i dyed my hair.

i didnt have very long hair and i used the whole tub.

could this be one of the factors of me losing my hair?

any information would be great.

thanks.What is the cause of my hair loss?
I know what you mean, I'm a 15 yr old girl, and the same thing happens to me. Apparently, it can be caused by dandruff, and/or a dry/oily scalp. If your hair is oily, buy baby shampoo and anti-dandruff conditioner. Use the baby shampoo and then the conditioner, but only a little bit. Let the conditioner soak into your scalp then rinse for 30 seconds. The baby shampoo will help your hair and scalp recover. Hope I could help xDWhat is the cause of my hair loss?
Did you know that nutritional deficiencies (Iron and Vitamin A) and cosmetic factors greatly contribute to your hair loss? Some more causes of hair loss include any or a combination of emotional and physical state such as stress, hormonal imbalance (especially androgen sensitivity), genetics. Majority of women with mild to moderate hair loss may notice big improvement by paying more attention to their stress level and their diet.

Ya that could be part of the reason, and also if you put a lot of conditioner on your scalp and rub it in it will dry up your scalp and eventually cause hair loss.



I hope everything works out :)
Two main cause are:



A) Stress or Food



or



B) You are making your hair stay in a manner it doesn't want to. (for example, gelling your hair upwards is preventing your hair to lay in its own form).
See your doctor 1st because the anxiety is not helping. Tell him/her your concerns. My husband started losing his hair in High School and now he shaves his entire head cause he only has hair around the sides [using this shaving oil that comes in a little bottle like eye drops, and a razor from Walmart]. He looks cool. So many guys are doing that today, that no one makes a big deal out of it all anymore.

Some say hair loss is hereditary, others say stress causes hair loss. I am female and wicked stressed and not losing my hair so I dunno. With the dry flaky scalp, use a dandruff shampoo once a month, to get rid of the dead skin cells, and then a conditioner. Then every other day or so, use Suave. It is a good brand and also inexpensive. Use one of their transparent shampoos and one of their conditioners. The conditioner will get rid of static too. Put it in and then rinse it out alittle. Leave a good portion in. The clear shampoo will strip out the dirt, bacteria and hair products that you use each time you wash. The conditioner will moisten and protect the hair shafts from damage from hair spray/gel, polution and sun. Massaging the scalp is good too.Hope this helps. But again, see your doctor about the worry and stress. He might have some suggestions as well to set your mind at ease. Oh and I've dyed my hair for years. Maybe consider streaking your hair using a cap [you can get them at Sally's Beauty Supplies, cheap, where the hair is pulled through little holes in a plastic cap or hat, with a tiny crochet hook] and only a portion is colored. Looks more natural and your scalp will be protected from chemicals. This can be done no matter what color you use. Or, also, the foil method. Do you take any meds? Sometimes certain meds can cause hair loss too. Again see your doc, first and ask questions. Also talk to a hairdresser. : )
Sometimes it also could be because it might be hereditary too
Here a few simple home remedies which can be tried at home to control hair fall.



1.Rinse your hair with a mix of apple cider vinegar and sage tea this helps hair grow..



2. A medicine rich in sulfur is also recommended as sulfur plays an important part in the structure of the hair.



3. Massage with olive oil before going to bed at night and next morning, wash off the hair gently..



4. To treat hair loss apply a little lemon juice with some black tea.Massage well and shampoo.



5. Beat two eggs,and add two tablespoons of water to it. Rinse hair and pour the egg mixture over the hair.Massage the scalp well and leave for 10 minutes.Then wash it.
dandruff or allergy from that dye or lice! that's what i think should be. even too much stress results in hair fall or it could be bad nutrition
eating
mainly hair loss is due to chlorine added to the water.

bleaching hair can be also another reason for hair loss or maybe the quality of the dye u used might not be that gud.

try to wash ur hair in medium cold water.it would do some help.

straightners may damage ur hair.

some times hair loss could be becoz u maybe lacking some vitamins..

dandraff can also cause hair loss.

the hair loss caused by dandraff is dreadful.
Try deep conditioning for your dry scalp. It might help.

Otherwise it could be stress, diet, or genetics?
ok you should see a doctor,

it could be some kind of condition
Your hair could be thinning for many different reasons so do nothing until you see a dermatologist so he/she can determine the cause. An office visit with a dermatologist will probably cost around $75 if your family doesn't have health insurance.
bleach can make it fall out

stress

age
