Hair Falling Out!

[Smowball]

For ages now whenever I brush my hair there is quite a lot on the brush afterwards, but this week it’s got drastically worse. It’s not coming out in solid clumps, but generally all over. For the very first time today I showered and as I washed my hair and put it into two plaits afterwards I was aware that each plait was much thinner than just last week. My hair is shoulder length. Is there anything I can take to help, before I end up bald!?

I had this when I gave up carbs for 3 months- horrible, I do sympathise. I took hair vitamins https://www.sugarbearhair.com/ and used https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://afwf.co/wp-content/uploads/best-products-for-hair-loss-in-men-short-hairstyle-2013-plus-burgundy-hair-extension.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.kapsalon-salvatore.be/producten/&h=900&w=900&tbnid=TGW9hnm3_3J2JM&q=kerastase+hair+loss&;tbnh=146&tbnw=146&usg=AFrqEzfN47YbnsEjUUStgdzOM6v9xqf4MQ&vet=1&docid=iUEIGnams9NFLM&itg=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjpwu_22fncAhUFdcAKHVAuAYwQ_h0wFHoECAYQBg and also reintroduced carbs! It doesn't help you now, but hair loss is cyclical, and whilst it may seem to be falling out now, it will recover itself in a few months. Do have a blood test for vitamin deficiencies and make sure you are eating only foods which you can tolerate (www.yorktest.com)

Bagpuss, I am glad your friend had a good resolution to her problem but I doubt very much it was the Plantur 39. Stress related telogen effluvium is usually self limiting and what ever the sufferer is using, at the time that regrowth occurs, gets the credit!
