I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You need a full evaluation. It's really that simple. You need someone to understand what's happening and look at your scalp carefully and review your blood tests. You certainly need blood tests for iron, thyroid, hemoglobin and possible a few others as well (depending on your precise story). If you are worried, please see a specialist.

The average Caucasian loses 100-150 hairs each and every day and regrows that number. If the hair on the pillow is new, see a doctor and find out if you are really losing hair
