This is definitely something you should see your physician about. My sister had something similar happen due to some medications she was on. Even if you are not on anything, this is serious and there may be medications that can help.

It could be something you are eating, or something you are not eating. Ask a doctor, and be honest when you answer the doctor's questions.

I think that you should tell your mom and visit a doctor cause it might be serious. I think that it also can happen if your dying your hair to much, because of all the chemicals.

Hair loss at a young age?

Okay firstly, before anything, id like to get your worry about being "bold" outa the way. 98% of women hair loss problems are solved, the other 2% is related to cancer i would suspect.

Hair loss in women can be more serious then in men. This is because there is most likely another reason you have been loosing your hair.

Have you been more and more stressed over time?

Are you depressed? and have been over time?

Other factors could be nutritional. Your not starving yourself are you? Many girls who want to look think like those weird models end up not eating enough food, therefore starving themselves, and that CAN cause hair loss. Make sure you dont have any kind of problem as such.

Women do loose more hair on their menstruel cycles, and also when pregnent.

I think your hairloss is hormone related and you really should get checked with a doctor.

But firstly, do not start panicing over anything, it will make things worse, and yes, i know by saying this, it does not make it easier, but im saying it for the sake of you knowing it. (if that makes sense lol).

Lastley, are you on any pills? Some pills can cause hair loss (from contraceptive pills to other medication, look up their side affects, and bring their names to your doctor for a good over all checkup).

Also do have a blood test, insist that with your doctor or get referered to a determilogost (i cant spell sorry).

I have tried my best to answer your question. I hope this pust you at ease on certain things.

Do let me know how things go (you can message me by going to my profile on yahoo).

Hope things work out! :) take care !!! BEST OF LUCK!

If you really thing that this is a problem then it would be a good Idea to talk to your parents about it (if your under 18). Propecia and Rogain have been known to help stop hair loss.

It also could be the kind of shampoo that you are using. You could always try something that is more natural.
