Losing a fair amount of hair as a teenager

[Coco2997]

These past few months i have realised that my hair has become alot thinner than it used to be.i am really quite worried because every time I wash my hair, at least about 20 hairs fall out. (I wash my hair every 2 days) not only this, my hair always feels really dry and very itchy, it sometimes even stings a bit. even when input conditioner in my hair it is still dry and itchy. Although my hair is dry I don't usually see any dandruff.  I have permanently waved hair this summer but hair started falling out before this. I also put curlers in to sleep. I eat a fairly balanced diet. I really do not know what I can do or treat it, and I don't really know what it is. Please help thanks.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Temporary hair loss or thinning can be triggered by dietary imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, stress or shock. Hair health requires good nutrition with enough iron, vitamin C, B Vitamins and essential fatty acids. Eating more protein can reduce hair loss. Protein can be obtained from pulses, soya products, whole grains, dairy products, eggs, meat and fish. Increasing intake of citrus fruits, berries and green vegetables will boost vitamin C and aid circulation.Use only mild shampoos and conditioners made from natural ingredients. Use a good brush and don’t pull or damage the hair.Avoid frequent coloring with chemical treatments.Regular scalp massage will promote circulation of nutrients to the hair follicles. Regular aerobic exercises stimulate oxygen flow in the scalp.

If it persists consult your doctor to rule out hormonal imbalances.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
