Hair loss

[CuJo1992]

I'm starting to lose my hair and I'm in my late thirties. Is this normal? Other people in my family don't seem to have this problem. I'm worried there is something wrong with me. Is it possible its my diet or too much stress? Is there any way I can stop it from falling out or grow back what I lost?

A lack of nutrients and stress can most definitely result in hair loss, especially if you have been stressed and not getting enough of the right food for a long period of time. Of course, hair loss may also be because of a medical condition or it might be that you're just unlucky and you've got some family gene that skipped a few generations.

That really sucks :( I would also say it could be your diet and stress that's causing it. Otherwise, talk to your doctor.

Thanks! I'm really glad that stress and my diet could play a roll in my sudden hair loss. I have been really stressed lately and I haven't been getting enough sleep and I've been eating pretty badly. Will the hair I lost come back?

to answer your question marcus88, no I haven't tried anything but I think I might take some supplements to help boost some of my vitamins and nutrients to help with re-growth *keeping my fingers crossed*

There probably isn't anything wrong with you CuJo1992 . I mean, you should definitely look into it since it's something that is clearly upsetting you, but you also might want to prepare yourself that it just might be genetics.

Beyond de-stressing and boosting your nutrients, I would advise keeping your hair relatively short, avoid wearing hats, don't overly comb, brush or run your hands through your hair. Wash your hair infrequently or at the very most every other day when possible. Refrain from styling it too often, dying it and use a shampoo and conditioner that's good for your scalp to help keep your pores open. You might find washing your hair in cool water is also better than hot. All of these tactics are good for the scalp and hair folicles by reducing strain and clogging the hair shaft.

Thanks! I'll keep this in mind, too, freddy!
