Answers:
I would say You need to go to the doctor and have your Vitamin D and Calcium checked.
Also
Years ago I was losing my hair from my Thyroid not being at the right levels.

I would Ask your Doctor to check for these things..

Good LUCK!!

there could be many reasons for this to happen and many ways you can help prevent it. i also started developing that problem. i started with cutting off most of the damage which was about 6-7 inches. i also take supplements daily to help make my hair grow stronger. go to GNC and pick up a bottle of Biotin and a bottle of supplements that are for your hair, skin, and nails. you might also want to change the shampoo and conditioner you use. i use a specialty biotin shampoo and contditioner you can get at your local supplement store, or you might also try baby shampoo because it doesn't have the soaps in it that might break down your hair. it is also very important to heat style your hair as little as possible. overheating your hair will cause weak spots that are easily broken.

i hope this helps! and good luck maintaining your hair!
It may be alopecia (see link) Also, do you have any tendency to play with or tug on your hair (nervous habit)? It could also be a vitamin/mineral deficiency (iodine). Again, go see your doctor and he/she can properly diagnose what's wrong. I've just given a couple of ideas...
My boyfriend noticed hair loss so the doctor put him on Propecia which was orignally for prostate cancer but they found out that it helps with hair loss. As soon as he started taking it, the hair stopped falling out and his hair is still thick as ever.

I'm not sure if Propecia can be used by women...but I'm sure there is a medication of some sort if you just talk to your doctor.
You should see your doctor you could have a thyroid condition
Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. To treat hair loss apply a little lemon juice with some black tea. Massage well and shampoo.Rub oil into the scalp. Wring out a towel in hot water and wrap it on the head. Keep it on for 15 minutes. Shampoo and dry well. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/... for more info.
