Question by bls4187: Female hair loss… due to stress?
I saw my primary care physician and brought up my recent hair loss concern. I have been losing more than the average 50-100 hairs per day. I am losing 100 from brushing alone! Not to mention shampooing, conditioning, and drying. He tested my thyroid and everything came back normal. I am starting to get worried. Just running my hands through my hair and I will get 3-6 hairs almost every time. I am wondering if I should go see my dermatologist (my doctor’s recommendation).

However, I am 85% sure that the hair loss is due to stress (job, ending of a relationship) and possibly from my sudden stop of oral contraceptives. About 5 years ago, I lost about 2/3 of my hair. I went to a derm and she said it was stress and suggested I start Rogaine for women. It took 2 years for my hair to start looking normal again… which is why I’m so paranoid and concerned now. I would be devastated if that happened to me again. It was the hardest time of my life.

Do I save myself the trip (and money) to see the dermatologist? Or should I go as a precaution? I would hate to hear the same thing — that it’s stress and it will stop on its own.

Does anyone know of any products that truly work to combat hair loss? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question by my husband’s wife: Can stress contribute to a hair loss in women?
I’ve noticed my hair come out more than usual… I even see some bald patches underneath the outer layer of my hair. I’ve been coming out of a major nervous breakdown. Could this be related? Will my hair grow back?

Yes in men as well. Go to your local health food store and get some folic acid and take 1mg per day. This should help with the hair loss. I used to work for a Rheumatologist and he prescribed it for his patients that had thinning hair due to their arthritis medications. Folic Acid is good for thinning hair.

Question by Aaron Bond: Does shaving your head help in eliminating stress related hair loss?
I have a very hectic work schedule and also am under a constant stress. I know that stress related hormones trigger hair loss. Does keeping your head shaved help in preventing this type of hair loss?
