My 17 year old daughter is suffering from it for 2 years, so far. Her hair is thinning out and she's losing too much hair at her age. What may be the cause of this? She has also begun to ';flake out';. Why is this happening? What could be done about it?What are the causes of Hair loss?
What causes excessive hair loss?
Stress from an illness or a major surgery
Hormonal problems
Childbirth
Medication (s)
Infection(s)

I agree with taking her to doctor but these might be some reasons why she is losing hair :
1: lots of stress , causes hairloss , make sure she is not stressed .
2: bad hair care , does she use hair ions e.g hair straightners ? does she use hair drier most the time to style her hair ? these are very bad for the health of hair and should be avoided for daily use ! ( make sure she doesnt highlight her hair too often )
3: bad shampoo , she should try different shampoos and see which one is the best .
4: Does she take shower everyday ? , everyday shower is bad for hair , if this is her routine and she likes it tell her not to use shampoos every day , she may wash her body but washing her hair with shampoo daily is bad for her hair .
very important to pay attention to her diet , bad diet causes hair loss. her diet should contain protein.
';The hair is comprised mostly of protein. To encourage hair growth, adhere to a diet rich in protein. A recommended diet for this purpose includes calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, and two tablespoons of granulated lecithin. Along with protein, these foods are also high in B vitamins, an important nutrient for hair.( http://holisticonline.com/Remedies/Hair//a> )';
How about some hair care products ? I used to suffer from hair loss when i was her age but i started using hair care Oils ( snake oil , local product ) , Im sure there are good hair care products around , they might smell and look scary but they are very good for the hair !
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some. Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.
Amazingl, you mentioned that her diet is good. I suggest you double check it again with info on this page just to be sure:

Good luck.
Stress... i' ve seen in TV that kind of situation.. the doctor advice him to have an exercise regularly preferably at the gym for him/ her to focus on the said activity.. but for more info go to doctor...
STRESS.
And maybe even she's pulling her own hair out.
I do that sometimes when im angry or stressed or feeling uncomtrable.
I dont know anything eles but go see a doctor and ask.
:D
take her to doctor

Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
I'm confused. On the internet, whilst doing some research i read that DHT also occurs in women. I thought only men experienced this. Is this the root of what causes hair loss ? is DHT always present and always the reason why someone will lose their hair?
this is an article i found
';DHT develops when testosterone is combined with ';5-alpha reductase';, an enzyme that is produced by the hair follicles. The mixture of the already-present testosterone and the new enzyme cause the hair follicles to begin shrinking. The Di-hydrostestosterone, or DHT, remains present on the scalp, causing the hair follicles to shrink more and more. Eventually, the follicles are unable to continue producing hair';
-http://www.inhairit.com/female-hair-loss/a>
If this is the case then is a dht blocker able to prevent hair loss for life if used continuously? I'm a 22 year old female experiencing hair loss which has not resolved itself after the delivery of my son 2 years ago. Can i get a recommendation of a Natural and fairly cheap DHT blocker i can use to grow my hair and prevent future hair loss?Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
The paragraph you quoted primarily refers to men. It also applies to women approaching their menopause.
women are more likely to suffer from thyroid problems,hair loss caused by birth control pills and stress induced hair loss.Especially if they are as young as you. these may ultimately lead to increased DHT but that does not mean DHT itself is the cause of your hair loss.
That article you linked to is misleading and playing with words. women do not lose hair in the same way as men and are more than likely to suffer from diffused hair loss, that is thinning all over the head. DHT is Not the main cause of hair loss in women.But that article says the main cause of baldness in women.How many women go bald? Anyway that whole article is a sales pitch aimed at a product so I would not pay too much attention to it..
I would work on finding the root cause of your hair loss.It could be a number of things.sometimes you can be under lots of stress without even knowing it.
you may be suffering from Telogen Effluvium which can be triggered by childbirth and can take long a time to clear up. Sometimes years.
Most hair loss supplements with DHT blockers are only for men.The only one that I know of that is for women and does actually work is provillus.
P.S DHT tests in women are inconclusive and not very reliable. The reason is because of the very low levels of DHT compared to men. Tests carried out on women can and do report DHT as being normal even though it is causing hair loss.Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
There are many reasons for hair loss including hormone imbalance, stress etc....
it would probably be better to go to the doctor so they can determine the cause.I think they can do test whether DHT is the cause nowadays?microdermabrasion

Could it be that stress is the cause of hair loss/falling hair?
Yes indeed! Have had that happening to me. I cut my hair, which was past my butt, because it was falling out so much and wanted the length to be shorter since it was. It's still falling out, but not as badly. I'm sure it'll even out eventually, not bald yet!Could it be that stress is the cause of hair loss/falling hair?
that is the symptoms or stress
these are the other symptoms of stress.........
chest pains,
constant tiredness,
constipation or diarrhoea,
cramps or muscle spasms,
craving for food,
dizziness,
fainting spells,
lack of appetite,
nail biting,
feeling sick,
frequent crying,
nervous twitches or muscle spasms,
pins and needles,
restlessness,
sleeping problems, and
a tendency to sweat.Could it be that stress is the cause of hair loss/falling hair?
MECHANICAL DAMAGE
Damage to the hair can be self inflicted either by intentional or unintentional means. Some people going through stress continuously pull at their hair until it comes out. Styling hair by bleaching, braiding and straightening can also cause damage and results in hair being lost.
yes it could. also if you have a problem with your teeth. or you need vitamins. my little sister's hair falls off when she is stressed and/or have a problem with her teeth, so that could be it. better check with a doctor though, could be something more serious
Yes. I have a friend whos hair fell out in patches when he was going through a divorce. About a year later, it all grew back.
it's also called living. hair grows to it's terminal lenth, falls out
Yes*
yeah babeh

Unintentional cause of hair loss on thigh area?
Ok, so this might sound just a little bit comical but true story none the less.
So , I pretty much ran out of roomy boxers a while ago and I had to wear some kind of underwear right?
So, I wore my older, much less spacey boxers for about two weeks until I bought new ones.
They constricted my thigh but not my hamstring area.
Sometime later (.I'm not one to endure discomfort for long)
I noticed that the hairs on my thigh were not as thick and long.
The hair growth recedes right from the point where my boxers would fit..
What exactly happened or is my imagination rampant?Unintentional cause of hair loss on thigh area?
If you go to the tool section in Home Depot you'll find buffing discs made of cotton and other seemingly harmless fibers.
But they polish off a lot.
I took a lipadary class and the buffing discs--even for semi-precious stones--were soft cotton, some of them! They weren't just to clean them up again--they actually
put the final polish on dull, mat stones.
So don't underestimate little things--there are no little things.
Your boxers may have even had some polyester content, making them even more abrasive.
When a fabric is woven (non-stretchy) instead of knitted (stretchy),
it will create more abrasion upon friction and movement.
My husband has little hair where his denims rub his knees (--it's funny, but I can't bring myself to put him in a dress).
It's a lesson and a half though, no? Little things add up!

Kindey problem, a cause of hair loss?
is it?Kindey problem, a cause of hair loss?
Your question is not at all clear so I have no idea what you really want to know but, yes, kidney disease can cause hair loss though it is not common. Usually, hair loss is not seen until the patient is in kidney failure.

What is the cause of hair loss?????
is it stress or the frequent change of shampoo brands?What is the cause of hair loss?????
According to an article I read the causes for hair loss are many and varied. Genetic 'Pattern Baldness' is the most common, but there are other very common causes such as Hormonal Imbalance, Illness, Poor Diet, Poor Hygiene, Drug Abuse and Stress. Read this article, http://myhairloss.googlepages.com/thecau/a>What is the cause of hair loss?????
I think by using conditioners, because long time ago I used conditioner and I had lose a lot of hair.
Strees is one of them. Heritage is another.
There are numerous reasons, here are just some:
Heredity, age, stress, pregnancy, eating disorders, malnutrition (specifically lack of folic acid in diet), wearing hats too often (clog the hair folicles with oil and such), colouring or other treatments of hair products too often.
one way is if u wear baseball caps all the time
its most likly stress, i don't think that shampoo brands will change ne thing about your hair.
Genetic is 1 common way
or just baldness
There are many reasons for hair loss. I am not sure why I have it, but I know what helped me. My doctor told me that women who took spirolactone had new hair growth. This a fluid tablet. He said this was one of the side effects. I was already taking a fluid tablet and he changed it to spirolactone. Within just a couple weeks, I could tell the difference. I now have much more hair, and it is one the top of my head, not one my face and chest as my daughter predicted. I do not know if this is helpful. Just like to pass on things that work.
Like firestarter said genetics and also enviornment and exposure to certain chemicals.
stress n wat u wash it with
Because your scalp stinks and the hair is jumping overboard.

What are the causes of hair loss?
i'm 24 and i'm already starting to noticebly loose hair ... what are some of the causes of hair loss ? anything I can do to slow it down ?What are the causes of hair loss?
Hair loss is caused by all kinds of things, but mostly it's a hereditary thing. If you want to see what you'll look like in about 20 years, check out your dad's and mom's hair. If your family history shows significant hair loss, there is still hope, but you need to act quickly.
There are all kinds of medical remedies available. If you're serious about remedying hair loss, see your doctor. You can also take steps to preserve the hair your have. One easy thing, only comb your hair from roots to ends. Anything else tangles and then pulls out hair in the detangling process. Follow this pattern also when you wash and condition your hair. Also, keep your hair cut short as weight will also increase fallout. Finally, Mane and Tail shampoo seem to help, and some judicious use of hair gel will make the hair you have seem thicker. Finally, don't sweat it. Many ladies find guys attractive with little or no hair.What are the causes of hair loss?
Hereditary, diet, injury, stress, thyroid, etc. Supposedly Grondin's Hair Salon has shampoo that helps. Check with your doctor to rule out medical problem, but if your dad has hair loss, you probably will too.
Unlike the last answer: Hair loss comes down the mother's line. Check your uncles on your mother's side to get an idea if your problem is genetic.
go to a doctor first to rule out any medical problems.
if you are losing more than 200 hairs a day,it is to worry about.
diet,lack of vitamins,stress,medications,
certain diseases(like thyroid).......etc
