Asked By:demreidem in New York, NY

1,5 year ago my hair started falling out (not big strands but definitely more than before) I went to the doctor a half year ago and we did a blood test, which resulted that I am healthy and have enough vitamin intake Also, my family is known for having thick hair and thick hair density. He concluded my hair loss was because of stress It has been 2 to 3 months now, but for me, it seems like my hair is not growing back. How long does this process of regrowth take and will my hair grow back? I'm 18
