Hello there.
Yes,stress can cause you hair loss.Remember this,
There are 3 types of hair loss that can be associated with high stress levels.
1)Alopecia areata (white blood cells attack the hair follice,
stopping hair growth and making hair fall out)
2)Telogen effluvium (emotional/physical stress pushes large numbers
of growing hair into a resting point.Within few months,you'll see the
hair loss while combing or washing the hair)
3)Trichotillomania (hair pulling - dealing with negative/uncomfortable
feelings such as anxiety,tension,loneliness,fatigue or frustration)
However,it is well recommended for people who has this problem
to try any product that contained 'Q10' - Shampoo (Schwarzkopf)
and some other brand.Also,control your emotion by doing meditation,
praying,yoga and exercise.Also,don't ever forget your drink and good
food.Take care

Hair loss is a very a common problem; in fact, it affects not only men but also women and children. While hair loss in men is commonly related to balding, other times, it can be a result of poor diet and lifestyle choice. You should take care of your hair like baby.
- use good hair care product(no contains sulfate, slicon)
- no stress, stress affects blood circulation badly
- shower reguarly
- no use hair gel or spray
you should take care of your hair like a child. My remedy, i apply my hair, use special hair care product and nourishing natural oil. My shampoo is sulfate,NaCl, slicone free, the natural oil is organic argan oil. if you wish, visit www.hairlossoil.net

most of the time, yes.
however, if you notice that you still have extreme hair fall when you are not stressed, either you have weak hair follicles or it's a different condition. when this happens, you should check with a doctor.

Ehm..
There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.
Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.
In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.
A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org/
