Been to docs today, was and out in about 2 mins! He asked what was wrong, how long and any other symptoms? Had a quick furtle about in my hair and booked me in for a load of blood tests!
Was very non specific when i asked what he was testing for, said most common reasons are hormonal or low iron.
Having blood taken on friday then have to go and see him when results are back.
Meanwhile hair is still falling out and I'm trying not to stress

Sorry to hear about your hair loss. Good luck when you go see your doctor.

There are a couple of products that might help if you did want to look into them. One is LA science (http://www.la-science.co.uk/) which is a little bit expensive but I've heard it's really good. Or Kerastase products (http://www.kerastase.co.uk), I used the Resistance ones when my hair went really thin and brittle after having hair extensions and they were amazing at repairing my hair and helping growth. I also went to a Saks salon at the time, where they use the Kerastase products, and they did loads of conditioning treatments which helped lots too.

I have a similar problem - My hair is VERY fine, and every single time I wash, brush it etc, I literally have a handful of hair at the end!

This has been going on all my adult life - I just put it down to my hair being ridiculously fine!

Reading this thread though, I am wondering if I too should try the docs? Though to be fair I am chronically stressed!

Hope you get it sorted LoobyLou!

Nioxin products are good, i started using it on advice from my hairdresser when i had chemotherapy and found that it really helped

Have a word with your local hairdresser they may have some suggestions. Would say dr but start with the easy option first.

I think it's kind of a deayed effect in a sense that mine fell out for ages afterwards, just persevere with it and I do sympathise

Are you stressed? Where I worked 10 years ago it was horrible and I was very poorly and stressed all the time, I lost a lot of weight and my hair thinned. It's back to normal now but it took a few years to grow back.
