Question: My hair is falling out, what is this ?

Answer: It could be a number of things such as genetics, age, hormonal changes, stress, change in appetite, excessive weight gain or loss, medicine, emotions, pregnancy, etc. Hair naturally sheds 40-100 strands of hair a day. If you feel you’re losing more than that see your physician.

Answer: You shouldn’t be shampooing your hair everyday. It should be every other day or longer. Shampooing everyday strips the hair of it’s natural oils that help condition the hair. I recommend on days that you

don’t shampoo, but feel oily, use baby powder or bumble and bumble’s hair powder. It helps absorb the oil leaving you with fresh feeling hair that doesn’t look oily.
