Your hair is falling out - What do you do?

Every morning you wake up there is more hair on your pillow. When you shower, there are tons of hairs all over the drain. What should you do?

The first and primary issue to address is what is the source of your hair loss. Are you going through a stressful time, maybe taking some prescription drugs for some other medical issue? Did you just have a baby, or does male pattern baldness run in your family?

These are questions that can really pin down the source of your hair loss. A simple solution would be that you only have a vitamin deficiency and the solution is to take a supplement every day. A more complex problem could be a history of male pattern baldness. This issue can require more aggressive treatment.

In short, you first need to calm down and review your lifestyle and all the facts surrounding your hair loss before you rush out and start buying hair loss products. If the hair loss products don't address the source of your hair loss, then you will be wasting your money.

The best place to start is by making an appointment at a trichologist - hair doctor- to start figuring out how your hair loss started.
