How can i know if losing hair caused by losing weight or stress or genetics?

Alopecia: of the many causes, some are nutritional. At your age, it is much less likely to be genetic. Do you know how to eat healthy? Iron deficiency anemia is a cause. Time for a checkup with your PCP, and possibly a dermatology consult.
