Many women and men traumatize their hair with combing, brushing, coloring, straightening or pulling into ponytail or braids. All of these can result in breakage of the hair and if it occurs at the hair-skin junction can result in bald spots (alopecia). If the hair doesn't grow back within the next few months, do seek a professional opinion. Seeing a lot of hair in your comb, brush or shower can also be due to stress, changes in hormone status or development of a medical disorder like thyroid disease. Choose a shampoo and conditioner that is gentle on your hair, consider supplements containing Biotin and be careful going forward with how you groom your hair. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections can be very helpful in enhancing the look of your hair.
