I'm Sitting Here Feeling My Hair Fall Out!?

I'm thinkin' it's gotta be internal. The hair that falls out has no roots so how can my hair just break & fall off by itself and in alarming quantities? Can someone shed some light on this dilema please?

    So..

    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/

    I hope it helps

    My hair falls out like crazy when I am stressed. I take a b complex vitamin (Flora), as well as 5000 mg of biotin a day. You could also take horsetail for silica, or even get a hair formula supplement. You might want to work on coping techniques for stress such as progressive relaxation and reframing issues as well if you believe that is your problem. Oh, and eating healthily is always important for your hair and skin (as well as your entire body). Poor health just shows up first in your hair and skin.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, Jamey. I do relate to many of the causes of hair loss that you mentioned. The funny part is that this is one of the few times that I have my toatally natural hair color. Anyway, thanks again...
