Hair loss is really terrifying and awful, especially as a woman. The joy and peace we feel when running our brush through our mane, the stiff competition between “naturalistas,” and having gorgeous hair is more than just a symbol of feminity… it’s part of our charm and beauty. So losing our hair is not only frustrating and somewhat demoralising. it’s extremely painful when the extreme lengths we go to preserve our hair, fail. Right?
The good news is, you may be able to reverse, or at least slow the process if you can narrow down the cause.

Also, there is no real reason to panic if you lose a little bit of your hair every day. “Hair loss in women is, to a certain extent, normal,” hair restoration specialist Dr. James C. Marotta told StyleCaster. “The average woman loses between 50 and 100 strands per day — even up to 150 in some cases.” Phew!

So when should you worry? Dr. Marotta recommends a test you can do yourself, to see if your hair loss is cause for concern. “Take about 60 hairs between your fingers and pull, running your fingers through your hair. Usually between 5 and 8 hairs [will come out], which is normal,” he said. “An excess of 15 hairs, however, is not as common, and means you are losing more hair than you should be.”If you’re losing in the latter category, then the cause is probably in one of the listed things below:

Over-styling & using too many hair products –
Over-styling your hair and overusing heat tools.. even over-brushing your hair can cause hair breakage. Though it may look like you are losing strands of your hair, it is actually just breaking off the ends or the middle of your hair. Your roots are still fine.
