what could be the cause??

Hey all!

I have had constant hair loss (quite a bit!) for the past 4-5 months. Blood tests did not reveal any major abnormalities except for slight iron deficiency (which I am treating for the past 1.5 months with a skin, hair and nails formula which provides the required 14mg iron). But apart from that everything seems to be normal. I am 29 and a vegetarian - so maybe a slight protein deficiency. I have been very healthy all through - never on any notable medication.

The problem is that the hair that falls does not seem to have a bulb at the root at all (both ends almost look the same). Anyone has a clue as to what the problem might be?

Thanks!

hate to say it but the most probable cause is male pattern baldness. vitamins and supplements wont really help you with this. Go see a dermatolagist if it is male pattern baldness get a prescription for propecia it will be your best bet for saving your hair.

I am sorry to not have specified - I am a female!

Try MSM 2- 4000 mg daily. It was the first thing that lessened my thinning internally.

Hi Sri, more information is needed before anyone can give you pointers

where are you losing you hair (hairline, crown, backs, sides)? is it diffuse loss (thinning all over) or can you actually see patches of loss?
