See answer: Do you mean hair falling out? This can be from a thyroid problem or from a nutritional deficiency on occasion. In those cases, correcting the underlying problem is the treatment. It can also be from an autoimmune disorder, which is harder to treat. Sometimes hair can fall out after an illness, weight loss or pregnancy. In those cases it will usually correct itself with time.

Work-up: Hair loss can be due to many factors: genetics, aging, hormones, underlying medical disorder (ue: hypothyroid, anemia), nutritional deficiency, reaction to medication, skin disease, stress or trauma, pregnancy. Need to get proper work-up to try to determine cause. Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia might help.
