I've noticed recently that i've been
shedding my hair a bit more than usual.
I notice it in my brush and when I wash my
hair or it gets wet. The only change in
my lifestyle that I can say is that
earlier in the spring and summer I lost
about 20 pounds. I'm taking
multivitamins now (with vitamin b and a
little bit of biotin), and trying to eat
more protein. I also recently got over
bulimia. I've been a vegetarian for a
few years too. I'm really scared that
within a few months I might be bald or
have bald spots. Can anyone help me?
When is this increase in shedding going to
go away?
(by the way, there isn't a history of hair
loss in my family, and i'm 15)
(also, i'm not on birth control or
anything either)
(i also tend to be a bit anxious and this
is stressing me out too. Do you think
that could be the cause?)
(and how long will it take to notice
myself "shedding" less hair?)
