stress causes loss of hair so does malnutrition and having a baby take some extra vitamins

losing 100 strands a day is normal so dont worry. u have to be stress-free coz the more u worry about it the more u'll lose. follow some good hair routine to reverse the situation.
- Do weekly hot oil treatment using olive oil. This will nourish the scalp and stimulate healthy hair growth.
- Use hair mask 3 times a week. The best ones are Neutrogena triple moisture, elvive by loreal and deep fortifying treatment by pantene. All these will mosturise your hair making it soft and smooth for a healthy and shiny look.
- Trim your hair once every 8-10 weeks to remove split ends.
- Massage your scalp every night using a wide toothed combed to improve blood circulation in your head and stimulate growth

It could be a lack of protein so make sure to eat some meat or peanuts etc., but most likely it's the weather. The sun beating down on your hair, not to mention any chlorine that you've been exposed to will cause it to fall out. If your hair is damaged from the elements, coloring, blow drying it or straightening it then when you sweat (which you do more of during the summer months) the pores on your head will open up and loosen the hair follice, thus causing them to come out. Also, if you've just recently let your hair grow out, this too could be the cause. You'll notice more hair falling out because it's longer and, well, more noticeable. The same thing happens to me, there's nothing to be worried about, it's perfectly natural. If you're still worried then talk to your hair dresser, and if he/she sees any cause for worry then go to your doctor. Hope this helped, good luck.

listen.
see a doctor immediately. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it can be caused by stress or it can be caused by something else. Im not gonna say hair styling and things like that becuz you said its just for few days. I think it is something serious. I dotn want to be very paranoid. I just want you to go to a doctor if you can, because you dotn know how serious it is yet. they will probably check your blood because ususally when ppl loose that much hair. its somehting from inside,from the organism . maybe you ate something that caused that,? maybe you put some product that caused that?take care and good luck
PS ;you will be fine if you will see the doctor on time and dont listen to ppls who offer to join "Im losing my hair club or some crap : -)
hope it helps
by the way those ppl who say 100 a day isa normal dont listen to them. its normal only when you will grow 100 back everyday but you actually dont know how much hair you are gwoing every day. u know how much u lose. more hair must grow than you lose. if you lose 100 a day and get 50 more hairs instead it means you are losing hair so u have to take it seriously

one hundred a day? lol that's normal silly! everyone loses hair at an amazing rate but dont realize it cause it comes in as it falls out....dont worry about it...you lose 50-100 while washing your hair and about 100-200 per day in general

losing 100 hairs a day is normal, if it appears too much, then change ur shampoo.

oh hon don't worry...
It could be because you are brushing it too much, brushing it when it's wet (which can weaken it), or washing it too frequently. Give your hair a break for a few days, then try strengthing shampoo and conditioner. Hope I helped.
P.S: Don't freak, it happens to everyone :)

if your really young, then that probably means that you have some kind of health problem.i heard if you have cancer, or lukemia your hair falls out.sorry.You should probably go to the doctor for some medical attention immediately.
but if your old like 40-60, then it's normal.probably just lack of excersize.
