Take the Redbook poll . I just turned 30, and for the past two years I have been losing an ungodly amount of hair. I used to have beautiful, thick hair, and it is now thinning. I have been told that stress is a big factor in hair loss. The first thing to remember is that we all lose 100 strands of hair a day.
Hair breakage a result of damaged hair can mimic hair loss.
Breakage could be the result of coloring, heated styling tools, or even low-protein diets. Major life events, such as the death of an immediate family member is a possible cause for hair loss, but is rare. Doctor Ingleton advises anyone experiencing hair loss to visit a physician for a full medical checkup. Dedicate 15 minutes each day to yourself. Spend this time deep breathing, practicing yoga, sipping chamomile tea, taking a short bath, or walking through nature.
