Hi. I am a 17 year old female. I am losing a lot of hair, ever since june. I lose a lot of hair whenever I wash my hair or brush it, and even when i'm not touching it. I don't eat much meat but I eat a lot of nuts. I have tried hair strengthening shampoos but they don't work. This is truly a problem for even my family has noticed. What is wrong? Sad

Some people who lose hair might be have an allergy to their shampoos. Try getting one that is Sodium Laureth/Lauryl sulfate free. I have a cousin who had this problem and switched to Jason's products and the problem solved itself. I hope it is as simple enough an answer for you too.

A friend I know experienced hair loss as the result of taking hormone pills for acne. Do you take contraceptives or use hormone pills? This could be the cause of the hair loss.

FYI, Selenium which is used in nutritional supplements and some hair shampoos can cause this. FDA just posted a warning about the nutritional supplement March 27th, 2008. Overdose of this substance causes rapid hair loss along with a host of other problems.
