What Causes Severe Hair Loss?

In the past 2 months, I have been shedding hair. I have really thick hair, but when I comb, or wash it I am noticing an abnormal amount of hair loss. My stylist noticed as well. Concerned as I have not changed any of my regular habits, diet and I am not on any medications. No hair loss in my family either.

Hello,
Welvcome to HCM, I have gone through the case.There are many causes for hair fall like Hormonal changes, Protein deficiency, Anemia, Thyroid disorder or using of any hair coloring chemical.
So will suggest you to go for basic Blood test- Complete blood count(CBC), Thyroid profile,Iron level, vitamin B and biopsy of scalp .
These tests will help you to find the cause and take proper treatment after getting the cause of hair fall.
Hopefully my suggestion will help you.

Thank you.
