I'm a 22 year old female and my hair is falling out! There is no history of early baldness in my family, and everything else seems normal. I think normally, 50-100 hairs should be falling out, but around 250-300 hairs have been falling out in a day. There are no bald spots, the hairs are coming out equally. I went to the doctor, but she said to take a multi-vitamin and exercise daily, which is good advice, but nothing I did not know already. Anyone know anything specific about this problem, please help! :o

Check out the above linked article on hair loss in men and women.
I hope this helps a little.

If your doctor does not have a clue, try a Dermatologist or even a Toxicologist.

Good luck dear, and keep us posted.

My mum had the same problem in her early 20's, she had several bald patches in her hair. The doctor told her it was alopecha (not quite sure of the spelling) they aren't sure of the cause but it has been linked with stress. Don't worry though if your doctor hasn't diagnosed it, its just a possible.
