What's wrong with my hair?

For a long time, my hair has been falling out. It’s not like I really tug on it, but just be letting my fingers brush through it, it pulls along at least five strands of hair with it! Is this a symptom of something? Or am I just not getting enough of something?

Dear chipshoy1242, We loose hair everyday; about 100 strands. If you tend to loose more than that then there can be an unbalance in your diet, from medication and yes even stress. So loosing 5 strands is nothing to be concerned about. Eating a well balanced diet does show in our hair by making it stronger, shinier and more healthy looking. Our hair grows from the roots so the only way to make it healthier is by feeding the body. Things you put on the hair will not help with growth or be a permanent fix. Sue…good luck
