I'm 15, a female and I'm losing my hair?

Whats wrong with me? And people can tell to. More than once someone has told me 'Your going bald.' or something of that sort





I straighten my hair every 3 days. I dye it black every three months.





I just recently lost 40lbs. Not in a healthy way I might add.





Are these things causing me to lose my hair?





What can I do about it so its not so obvious that I am losing my hair?I'm 15, a female and I'm losing my hair?
Malnutrition can cause hair loss.





There really isn't anything you can do to make it not so obvious.





If you still have unhealthy behaviors regarding food, see your doctor, and ask for a referral to an eating disorder specialist, the specialist will help you sort out your feelings about food.I'm 15, a female and I'm losing my hair?
Yikes! Yes, everything you are doing is stressing your follicles! Leave your hair alone! It may be a few years before it can recover.





Be very careful with it. Don't scrub when you shampoo. Just wash it gently. Use conditioners, so it's easier to comb. When you comb it start at the bottom and work your way up using a very wide toothed comb.





I think I would try wearing it pulled back in a pony tail (not a tight tail, but a low loose one) and buy some small cute hats that don't need to be removed inside. I once found a cancer support site that had some beautiful little hats reasonably priced.





You could try hair extensions where your hair is braided up close to your head and then the extensions are sewn to the braids. Of course the braiding would stress your hair, you can't wash your head as often and it doesn't stay in long enough to seem very practical because it costs so much.





I'm sure if you stop playing with your hair, it will stop falling out.
It's definatly from the weight loss! Get healthy and don't do that again, not only is it horrible for your body, but your nails, teeth and hair all get damaged as well. The hair dye may be adding to it as well, but I'd say if people are noticing it, it isn't just that.





edit:


How much do you eat each day?!?!
Maybe you don't have good eating habits. Try to eat healthier. Do you have an eating disorder? i have lost a great deal of hair due to bulimia. you should see a doc
I'm assuming that your unhealthy way of losing all that weight is from an eating disorder? That would most definitely cause you to lose your hair. Get some help with that.
I'm loosing my hair too, it doesn't even hurt when it's pulled because it all falls out. I lost 20lbs recently by not eating at all, so it's probably from that.
i'm 14 nd mi hair is falling out too.I dye it every 4months nd straiten every 3 or 4 days . i think it is probably coz of your weight loss
yeah losing 40lbs is not good at all and probobly accounts for the loss of hair. also stres will make you lose hair.
The weight loss is probably the cause. And it will only continue unless you eat right.
It's because of your massive weight loss. You need to increase your protein in your diet.
uhh yeah if your anorexic or bulimic you are going to lose your hair!!! and period
its because you lost so much weight and in an unhealthy way
