I'm 16 years old and I need help with my hair. My mom bought me the TreSemme Shampoo and Conditioner. Ever since I started using it, my hair began falling out more then usual. Everytime I brush my hair, wash my hair, or just play with it...I always end up pulling out a lot of hair and it's scaring me. I don't know if it was the shampoo or if I'm washing my hair too much, but I'm just losing a lot of hair. My mom says that it's normal...but I'm losing more than usual. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Maybe you're allergic to that shampoo?  Try changing to a different brand and see if it helps.
More awesome than a manatee!

Your hair does go through a shedding, growing and then a resting phase- you could possibly be in the shedding phase and it is a co-incidence this is all happening at the same time. It is normal to loose 50-100 hairs a day with regular brushing. Do you wear your hair back in a tight ponytail? That will add stress to the hair and cause some to break. Personally I only recommend professional hair products bought in a licensed salon. Products you buy in Walmart, etc... are full of harsh detergents that dry out hair and waxes that coat hair- a great combination for disasterous hair! The products may cost a little more but they last a long time because they are concentrated. Think about it- how often do you see a hairstylist with really dry, frizzy hair? Not very often. Good luck!

I'm only 16 also and I'm experiencing hair loss. 40 more strands fall out one time when i just run my fingers through hair when I wake up in the morning. Is this NORMAL? I don't think so. I know it's normal to lose 50-100 strands per day, but I think I definitely loses more than that! My hair is already baby fine and thin, so lossing 100 strands a day would mean a lot to me!!

I dunno my real cause of lossing hair, but I guess it's because there is some waxy coating buildup on my scalp...blocking the pores...causing hair to detach from it....

From now on I will stop using those cheap drugstore hair care products and switch to department store products...see if it works...

I found myself today...

For some poeple it can be very easy to lose hair on there head.  I have a similar experience with a shampoo that made my hair go very thin and lose alot of it.  I actually baught it at a solon thinking everything there was good for my hair but the Rusk sensories "Brilliance" was deadly to my hair.  Not everything you buy at a solon will do wonders to your hair, as I found out. I wrote the company about what happened because I was very upset and they never responded. There are so many things that effect your hair, I suggest changing your shampoo and finding the right one for you.

Fructis is what I use now and it's works great.  Using to much shampoo also will cause your hair to thin because it causes build up. For girls with long hair you use a quarter size ammount, for short hair a pea size ammount.

If you this worried about it...why not seek the advice of your family doctor?
