Stress may be it. I don't think it's poor nutrition - I make sure I get plenty
of calcium, protein, vitamins... I will have either a protein shake or multi-
vitamin once a day, and I get about 8 - 10 hours of sleep a day...
*shrugs* Maybe I should switch shampoos and see what that does?

What is your nutritional intake like?  Stress and poor nutrition are strong causes of hair loss.  Do you take mutil-vitamin, get plenty of sleep, enough calcium, etc?

I hope you can help me with this problem.  Over the last few months I
have begun to notice more and more of my hair falling out in the shower
and when dry.  Around 5 - 10 will come out in the shower and another 10
throughout the day.  I don't brush my hair often, and although it is
regularly colored, I do my best to keep it in tip-top shape.

Since I am fifteen years old, is it possible that there is still time for a
hormonal change to be changing the texture/fullness of my hair?  I
always thought "hormonal surges" were only for infants, pubescents and
pregant women!  But now that I think about it, my body will only be fully
matured in another three-five years!  Does this mean I can still possibly
have a hair change in store for me?

Also, another question:  As an adolescent, I naturally have very oily hair. 
In fact, most conditioners weigh my hair down so I am stuck to using
leave-in conditioners only.  But does having oily hair necessarily mean it's
more healthy and can survive more color treatments/perming?  Because
as much as I love my hair, I love my beautiful shade of rich auburn that I
can only maintain by dyeing my entire hair every month or so...  it fades
incredibly fast.

Sorry for the extra-long post.  But there's so much to ask and nowhere to
start!
