why suddenly my hair is falling - #24515
I am freaking out and don't know what to do about my hair, like why suddenly my hair is falling out?? I mean, for years I had this thick head of hair and now, outta nowhere, I'm noticing clumps when I wash it. It's like every morning I wake up and there's more hair on my pillow than usual! I tried changing my shampoo and stopped using heat tools, thinking that might help, but I feel like it’s getting worse. Even my friends have mentioned it, which doesn't help my anxiety. I read online about stress and how that can affect hair, but I thought I was handling everything pretty well. Also, I recently changed my diet—added more veggies and cut back on sugar but don't think that should have any connection? Have any of you experienced this, like why suddenly my hair is falling? I saw a dermatologist last week, and they did some blood tests and said my vitamin D was a bit low. Could that be it? Or is it something more serious like a hormone thing? I'm just feeling so lost and a bit hopeless. Trying to stay positive, but this is really starting to bug me. Would love any advice or perspective!
