Hair thinning-HELP!?

I am 19 years old female and I feel like my hair is thinning. For a few months now, whenever I am in the shower and after I condition my hair I can pull out big knots of hair...Its not like clumps are missing from my scalp..but I am starting to feel the differnece in how thick my hair is (my hair is was VERY thick..like I had it thinned out many times a year). Should I be super worried? As some other background info..I spent my entire summer in the mountains camping so I didn't exactly take care of my hair and often times didn't brush it (sorry if that sounds gross..but i was doing research) and only washed it about once a week....I always wear my hair up in a ponytail or bun of sorts and I switched my conditioner about 3 months ago, out of advice from my friends..I now only wash my hair 2 times a week-but I always blow dry it-could any of these be the cause of my hair loss? I also know that hormones can do this...but could it be something much much worse that I should be worried about

Considering that an average person loses up to 100 hair a day,I would not worry. Nearly 40% of women experience some form of permanent hair loss, so don't be alarm if you're losing more than the 100 strands. Environmental and genetic factor influences your thinning. You make want to consult a physician or a specialist for better methods of slowing down your thinning if you feel it is a concern.

Also, emotional and physical stress may influence your thinning. Like you've said, there is a huge hormone factor. When you're stressed, your body releases hormones which may contribute to your hair loss. So relax.

. There are many options for hair loss. There's always the hair club which offer semi-permanent hair replacements. This can be expensive. There's also topical remedies (http://www.provillus.com/?aid=587078) which have been shown to regrow hair. Make sure you select a product that is FDA approve. The process is slow, but more than likely, you'll get some hair back.

To make the thinning less noticable, try combing your hair back or part your hair zigzag. It's stylish and may cover some of the thinning regions. Also, I would skip the blow drying all together. It will damage you hair and make it more brittle. But if you can't go without blow drying, do not aim at the scalp. The same goes for chemical treatments. This may cause more damage to your hair follicles. Refer to the site source for more help.

Do you have any other symptoms or illnesses anywhere else in your body? If not, it is probably nothing to worry about. But I would see a doctor since you seem concerned about it. Good luck!
