Hair is falling out?

I am an 18 year old female and my hair is falling out at a scary rate. I don't have any bald spots but my hair is thinning and when I run my hands through a bunch comes out. I have a dermatologist appointment but it isn't for another month and a half. I got tested for anemia and thyroid issues and I don't have them. Is there any reasons why it would be falling out? And any solutions you recommend? Again, I have an appointment but anything in the mean time.

    Have you used chemicals: perm, relaxers, hair dyes on your hair? Example of one who's hair is falling and stopped growing from YA!:

    "my hair had been bleached many times and can't grow past a certain length

    its also falling out . i stopped bleaching it.

    i just need to add lenght! but if i can stop it from falling out..that be great too"

    Have you use WEN hair care products, 21,000 women have complained about hair loss, a Class Action Lawsuit is going on right now.

    Have you use hair growth supplements, biotin for example. Those can do more harm, may even have side effects that causes hair loss. Example from YA!:

    “11 days ago I switched from my normal hair growth vitamin/ mineral pill to biotin. For the last 9 days all my hair has done is incesently fall out.

    Have you used oil on your hair?

    "You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesn’t get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,” Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.

    Have you been using heat to style your hair?

    And the latest Example from YA!

    "I've experienced crucial hair loss from straightening my hair for several years, possibly even scarred my hair follicles in certain areas. I'm wondering if it will grow back and if there's anything I can do to speed up the process."

    Dove hairfall facts:

    1. Humidity makes hair dry and brittle, leading to hairfall

    2. Colouring the hair damages the hair strands leading to breakage

    3. Pollution is also an unseen killer of healthy hair

    4. Tangled hair is the most common reason for hair fall

    5. While shampooing cleanses your hair, regular conditioning is required for adequate moisturization. Regular use of conditioner post shampoo also solves the problem of entangling which is the major cause of hairfall.

    ALSO: Here are 4 habits that damage your hair without even knowing it:

    1. Brushing/combing wet hair

    Your hair becomes more fragile when it's wet. That's beacuse the water swells the cuticle and stretches it out, making it more more prone to be pulled out from the root.

    2. Highlights and coloring

    That's because many products contain chemicals that are harmful and can cause great damage to your hair, which may not be reversible. For instance, chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and ammonia found in hair dye can cause hair loss and thinning hair.

    3. Ponytails and braids

    If you have been doing these regularly, then you're damaging your hair as ponytails and braids can cause hair to break, especially if your style is pulled tightly.

    4. Hair styling tools

    Drying your hair with a dryer may seem convenient, but the heat of the dryers can cause severe hair damage, making it look dull and dry. Besides, other styling tools like straighteners and curlers contribute to more hair loss when done frequently.  

    There are many reasons why hair falls out, and a little blood test is not going to tell you what had happened.

    I don't know why your hair might be falling out, but try hair vitamins like SugarBear Hair, or if you need something cheaper, you could go to Walmart and pick some up. I tried a strawberry flavored gummy vitamin that made my hair thick and shiny. You could also try oil treatments for your hair (mix a little bit of olive oil in your favorite conditioner and leave it on for 15 mins, then rinse out) Good luck and I hope your hair gets better!☺

    Are you using heat on it? Or a certain shampoo/conditioner? Feeling stressed?
