Then examine any medications or supplements you may be taking. Minimize minimize minimize....you may find the problem easily. Make sure your not using any harsh chemical washing, conditioning or coloring your hair as well.

Hair loss . . .: There are many reasons for hair loss, chief among them being stress. Classic hair loss occurs several months after hospitalization, surgery or childbirth. Thyroid disease is also linked to hair loss. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hair-loss/basics/definition/CON-20027666 for more info.
