Antibodies: There are a number of causes of hair falling out at a young age, including any creams etc. that your hairdresser has applied. Your hair may also be falling out because of thyroid antibodies. Take a look at Yahoo images and "Thyroid hair issues".

Fibroids, anemia: Hair changes (thinning, brittle, or even loss of hair) common with significant anemia one can get from fibroids. Interestingly, this is completely reversible once the anemia is treated. Other signs of anemia include being tired/weak, lightheaded/dizzy, palpitations, migraine-like headaches, and chewing/craving ice. Get your hemoglobin and iron levels checked. May need to get fibroids treated.

Many possibilities: You did not include your blood test results. Stress can influence hair issues in some people. You may want to see a dermatologist to see if you may have a scalp or hair problem. Good luck. Use a gentle shampoo and brushing of your hair.

Iron: You might want to start Iron supplement, since iron deficiency can cause this. If no better in few weeks, repeat your blood work.
