      Over the last few months, I’ve been experiencing pretty intense hair loss. Every time I brush my hair or run my fingers through it, some comes out. Not entirely sure why. I’ve gained some weight and I’ve def been more stressed than normal but all my hormones have come back “normal” with my endocrinologist. I’d love to get some insight. I’d also love any tricks of the trade.
      Thanks!
      xoxo

          I had the same hair loss problem and I got consulted with a doctor through telehealth Ongo Care. I am better now with applying all my doctor’s advice. I suggest you consult a Trichologist and describe your problem. Try out the solution which your doctor suggests. According to my doctor’s advice, I take a healthy diet and drink a lot of water with my finasteride tablet. Also 3-4 times a week, I apply oil for 2-3 hours and wash it with lukewarm water. I experienced an improvement in my hair growth and a reduction in hair loss once I started it. If you have long hair, do not tie up your hair because it will put a lot of pressure on the top part of the head. If you try out these things, be patient and don’t expect the results too quickly.

            Have you had COVID recently? COVID can cause telogen effluvium type of hair shedding. Apparently it resolves in 6-9 months. There are options I’ve heard of people getting (injections) to help as well. A few friends have had this.

              I did some research and realized my hair loss might be related to my vitamin D levels. With the pandemic, I’ve definitely been spending a lot more time indoors. Starting a vitamin D supplement to see if that helps. Will send updates in a few weeks!

                Hi! I’ve been experiencing this too so I started introducing collagen to my routine. I usually put it in my smoothies especially the unflavored powder.

                  Hi! I was experiencing that for awhile. I ended up having various issues with my thyroid and had to get it removed. Once I had a thyroidectomy and got the medication levels right I’ve seen tons of improvement with my hair!!

                      I’ve been experiencing this too. It’s definitely unsettling. But it makes me feel a little better that I’m not the only one.

                        My hairdresser told me the other day that so many women are also experiencing this! Could just be stress
