Is it normal to suffer from a lot of hair loss once you begin your period?

Posted by admin
Ines J asked:


I am 12 and 1/2 and have just started my period. I am suffering from extreme hair loss, by that I mean that when I brush my hair with my fingers many strands fall out, or when I am in the shower clumps of hair will come out and when I tie my hair and then untie it hair will be wrapped around the hair tie. Is this normal. I am really nervous as I can almost feel my hair thinning! Help!

      I’d probably go see a doctor just to make sure. It could be more serious than you think. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
