Its Telogen hair effluvium (shedding) - This is basically due to some temporary physiological upset like:

After pregnancy

Side Effects of medication (e.g. anticoagulants, gout medication, antidepressives, contraceptives and excess

Vitamin A)

Rapid weight loss

Emotional upsets



By far the majority of cases of hair loss (with the exception of male pattern baldness) are only temporary and will respond well to treatment. Treatment will usually involve management of the underlying causes by using different ways for treating it, ranging from a change in medication, treating an underlying medical condition and using products to promote hair growth.



There are several treatment options that may help to stimulate and encourage hair growth. If hair loss occurs as a result of an underlying condition or disease, then the condition needs to be treated first. The various types of hair loss are treated with specific medication which includes antibiotics, corticosteroids, or steroid injections. For more serious episodes of hair loss, surgical procedures such as hair transplants, scalp reduction or skin grafts may be performed to replace hair loss.



Natural and holistic therapy offers a gentler alternative for people experiencing hair loss than the harsh effects of conventional medication. Treatments such as herbal and homeopathic remedies stimulate and encourage hair growth as well as support blood circulation, hormonal balance and thyroid functioning.



Herbal remedies along with good nutritional diet (supplements in case of severe deficiency or if directed by your doctor) help hair grow stronger and more plentifully by nourishing it at the roots. They achieve this by stimulating blood flow and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles and hence promoting healthy hair growth and slowing down excessive hair loss. Although the process begins within a few days, as the hair grow slowly, the results are visible only after a few months.



Herbs commonly used include Ginkgo biloba, Rosmarinus officinale and Xanthoxylum clavaherculis help to promote strong, abundant hair. Other powerful herbs such as Equisetum arvense, Avena sativa and Echinacea are effective combating hair loss and nourishing hair follicles.

See telogen effluvium at aad.org. Then see your doctor to rule out causes of hair loss. The white at the tip means it is a resting hair, not that it is breaking off. Resting hairs are supposed to fall out, but the thinning suggests you are losing at a higher rate and not replacing it.
