Hair: From thick and shiny to dry and falling out...?

What happened? Even though I've dyed my hair for over 10 years, I've always had beautiful hair. It even looked better after I dyed it! Now in the past 2 months, however, it's become very thin and dry. My floor is always covered in hair. It's not falling out in clumps or anything just all over. It's also not just breakage, but the whole hair %26amp; root.

5 months ago I did a cleansing water fast for 25 days so maybe my body is now reacting to that deficiency of nutrients. And I never eat a lot of meat. I know hair needs protein to grow, but it seemed to be fine all those years before without the protein. I'm much too young to lose so much hair. Anybody else experience something similar? What can I do to stop it today?

Hair: From thick and shiny to dry and falling out...?

it seems to me that its from malnutrition. i've seen people with eating disorders (not that you have one), and their hair is always dry and thin. try eating more of a balanced diet, and take a multivitamin. but if you only drank water for 25 days, i'm pretty positive that the condition of your hair is from that.

everything you put in (or dont put it) your body comes out through your hair, skin, and nails. if your hair is very dry and falling out, i'm sure that your skin and nails aren't in great condition either.

just take better care of yourself! eat a well-balanced diet, drink more water, and take your vitamins. it will take a while for your hair to get back to normal, but it will happen eventually.

in the meantime, i would suggest going to your hairdresser and asking her for some products that will help nurse your hair back to health. unfortunately, it has to happen from the inside out, so if you start eating better, the new hair growing in will be healthier, but the old hair will stay the same. there are products, though, that help infuse your hair with protein and moisture, so i would find out if your hair salon carries something like that.

good luck

Nobody beileves it but your hair changes every 7 years i went from curly tons of hair to fine and straight im a stylist and it happens to everyone... our bodies go through hormonal changes our hair if your on any sort of medication that could do it if you think its really excessive see your doctor they can help!!

Most likely it is a combination of factors. The dying process may have eventually taken a toll on your hair's health.

Yes, the fasting process deprived your body of nutrients and that would also affect hair health.

Even if you do not eat much meat, there are other ways to get protein in your diet. Try eating cheese, yogurt, raw nuts. If you have made dietary changes, are you getting enough "good" oils, such as olive oil, in your diet?

Nothing is going to stop it "today". The sooner you make changes in your diet and stop processing your hair, the sooner you will begin to see results.

Typically, hair grows at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month. So the hair that is 2-3 inches from your scalp is the hair that was forming during your fast.

its probably from overproccessing it can be fine and then BAM its not so good... did you get your hair done proffesionaly or was it an at home kit and did you try a new brand if it was a salon then maybe they are using a new brand or something but yeah its most likley from the dye my hair was thick and shiny till i dyed it now its falling out just like yours..... i hate it and it is normal for hair to fall out also your hair to "change" every seven years or so...
