Hair loss for a 14yr old??

I got my hair thinned and highlighted with red two weeks ago. Lately i've noticed that peices of my hair fall out. Its only 1 or 2 at a time though and doesnt occur all the time. I have a bad habit of pulling out strands of hair when I'm bored also. Could that be a cause? I get my hair dyed alot..About twice a month. My hairs not the long though. I don't wanna go bald before I'm 20! Is there anything i can do to stop the process?

You may have what is called a mild form of Trichotillomania (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichotillo... ). You are actually due at your age a physical with you doctor--have you gotten your tetanus booster yet, too?

Hair dye is quite harsh chemically (on your hair). If you notice that your hair is damaged by frequent dyeing of your hair, I think you need to consider.. stopping it.

So there are two problems here--pulling out of your hair when you're bored (a lot of people do that, did you know?) and the dye that your hair is subject to. Do you dye it to other strange color (I am not suggesting that you're dying it blue or something like that)--as my nephew at your age was doing odd colors to his, too--but can you stop doing it, if it will keep your hair from falling out, and let it grow naturally whatever color you have?

The pulling of your hair, I advise you to see your doctor for that.

maybe you should stop dying it and stop pulling on it. All those chemicals you are using are probably the main problem with your hair lost.Leave the dye in and dont add anymore chemicals (other dyes) to it. Give your hair a break.

Sometimes dying your hair too much can do it. But you won't go bald from it.

And it seriously could be stress.

If it is like an 1.5 or more inches, it just comes out naturally. Since I grew my hair out a little, I have been losing more hair.

Just like at girls, they have long hair and you find there hair everywhere.

Like I said, don't worry about it, happens to a LOT of people
