I'm a young girl. Why am I losing my hair?

I'm 21; I recently moved from the United States to China. I used to be able to run my hand through my hair without hair falling out. Now when I do that, maybe 15 strands of hair come out. My diet's different here, and my body adjusted weirdly the month I moved (my period lasted two weeks). But why is my hair falling out? Why won't it go back to normal? Am I going bald????I'm a young girl. Why am I losing my hair?
Have you eaten too much MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate)?


If so, then that explains why you are losing hair.


Eating too much MSG, usually found in most foods as a permitted seasoning, in the long run will cause you to lose your hair.


Some common examples include canned foods and instant noodles.


Stay clear of them.

it sounds like it might be because of pollution, since you just recently moved to China. I have heard there is major pollution around the larger cities in China, that has caused numerous health problems for the Chinese people who live there. Try if you can to avoid the sources of pollution such as smog, polluted water (get a water filter) try to eat Organic food, not food sprayed with chemicals, and try to do some kind of detox (like a heavy metals detox, Google it)





it could also be a food allergy to something you started eating since you got there. See if you can figure out what you are not eating that you weren't before.... a common allergy that actually causes baldness for some peopel is wheat and gluten.
Loss of hair is usually associated with stress. Your diet change may also be a factor because Asian foods tend to have a lot of MSG (monosodium glutamate) which also makes hair fall out. I think it's because of stress because you're in a new environment and have to adjust to a new diet routine as well. Try to find a way to help you stay calm such as tai chi or yoga or something you like to do. Good luck! :)
Because you THINK you'e young when you're really not you old fart.
It could be stress related.
