Please help
I am 27 years old...recently, every time i take a shower and wash my hair, my hair just comes out in CLUMPS in the back. the top of my scalp is fine, and that doesnt fall out at all, but i get long pieces of clumps that fall out in back . Its not a few, its more like big chunks. If i even put my hands thru my hair, hair falls out in chunks. Also i am noticing my hair is so thin on the sides of my head, like my temple area
.....can someone help me???? could this be a lack of vitamins ( i dont take any) . i also do not eat vegetables , i am thinking maybe i dont eat very well..can someone give me a regimen i could follow? which vitamins to buy, what i should eat more of? please help, i cant even wear my hair down because its getting so thin!

Beachbumb,

I don't get it- do girls on this forum not respond because they aren't as fixated on hair loss as guys, and so don't visit the site that often?

Sounds like what you are experiencing is alopecia areata (aa). Try doing a search on that. Though, you say it's in the temple area. I think that aa occurs more in a concentrated area, usually at a random spot on the scalp or back of the head.

Do you wear your hair back a lot? There is a girl at the gym who I think has the same temple hair loss, and she wears her hair back all the time. This leads me to believe she is pulling it back to tightly.

Good luck. My apologies if I am perceived as intruding on this side of the forum. (My rum and coke... er pepsi is to blame=).
