Question by Baby GIRL due 01/05/10: Unexplained hair loss in women?
I’m a 25 year old new mother to one terrific little boy. When I was pregnant with him I found that I was loosing some hair, not a lot but it was enough for me to notice. My son is now 5 months old and lately my hair has been returned. I know that stress can be a contributing factor with hair loss and I have had a bit of it lately, most recently with the passing of my grandmother and being a single doesn’t really help things.
It started off as a few strains here and there and now handfuls of hair will come out during and after my shower.
I have dyed my hair in the past and I know this does not help things either, but I’ve NEVER had this much hair loss in my life. So much so, that I’m beginning to see a receding hair line. I’d like to know the cause of this. It’s kind of starting to freek me out. It’s been happening for almost a month now and its after I have a shower mainly… If anyone could give suggestions as to why this is happening to me, that would be wonderful. Thank you!

I’m 21, and my hair usually grows in thick and fast. I’m not under a lot of stress, and early hair loss isn’t hereditary for the men on my mom’s side of the family, or my dad’s. Recently, I’ve been finding hair on the pillow, in the shower, and I have a dry, itchy scalp with hair that feels matted down and dead. If I scratch my head, hairs come out. I feel like it came out of the blue.
A few days ago, I changed my morning vitamin regiment. Usually I take Fish Oil Capsules, ginkgo biloba and a multivitamin, all at the recommended amounts, in the morning. I added more fish oil (recommended 2000mg, taking 6000mg) , Vitamin B (as suggested), and I’ve taken Ginseng energy before work (more than suggested) and eaten a lot of almonds. A handful a day is suggested, and I’ve eaten maybe 3-5 times that amount for the past few days.
It seems logical to conclude that the excess almonds, fish oil, or ginseng energy, or some conbination of them, is the culprit. As a cautionary measure, I went back to my old regiment and I’m avoiding everything recently added.
What’s the cause?
