im only 15years old (female) and every time i wash my hair its falls out in massive clumps, i used to frequently straighten my hair, but thinking this was the cause over the past fortnight i have not been straightening it. My hair is still falling out as bad as ever what could be the cause and the prevention as i really dread washing my hair now!? many thanks
For our American readers, a fortnight is about 2 weeks. Something serious is wrong. If you used something to straighten it in the past few weeks, that could account for chemical damage. If you can not account for it by something you did, then you need to see a dermatologist. Before you panic though, look carefully at what you might have done to damage you own hair. Chemical damage should reverse over a few months.

For the past year I have been noticing my hair loss, and it is getting to the point where I can’t hide it. The part that scares me is that I am only a 15 years old male. Could this be male patterned baldness at 15? It is not just falling off the top of my head but also falling out the sides and the back. Is any of this normal?
FOR THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN LOSSING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HAIR. I GO TO MOVE MY HAIR OUT OF MY FACE AND 6 TO SEVEN STRANDS COME OUT FROM THAT ONE SPOT. I’LL BE JUST SITTING AND HAIR SHEDS OFF ME. MY BATHROOM, KITCHEN AND CARPET FLOORS ARE COVERED WITH HAIR AT THE END OF THE DAY. MY VACCUM HAS BROKE ON THE COUNT OF THIS. I DO HAVE DANDRUFF. COULD THAT BE THE CAUSE? PLEASE HELP I AM 29 YEARS OF AGE AND ALL THE OLDER WOMAN FROM MY FAMILY STILL HAVE THERE HAIR…HELP PLEASE
