hi, i am 22-years old and in april a friend and i dyed my hair black (it is dark brown). anyway, it was supposed to be a semi-permament (the ones that rinse out in 24 to 28 shampoos) but it was a permanent i guess because it is still here.
i am worried though because i guess i started noticing in early august that i had alot, i mean, ALOT, of hair just falling out--like when i would wake up in the morning, my pillow would be COVERED with my hair. In the shower, i would accumulate lots of hairs in the drain. when i brush, hairs cover my brush. when i run my hand through my hair, i always come out with up to 5 strands.
also, almost all the strands have a white tip that is fatter in diameter than the rest of the hair strand it is attached to. Is that the root?
i don't know what to do.
i have been on birthcontrol (yasmin) and an anti-depressant (zoloft) for like 2 years--no stops, no starts, no changes.
i exercise, eat healthily.
does anyone know anything about this? or know someone who does? or has had the same or similar experience.
what should i do?
what is it in the first place?
oh, i forgot to mention--when my friend and i dyed my hair, i felt this kinda painful tingling on my scalp. so, for all i know, i burned my scalp or something.
