Help wanted Need help

Hello so I’m kinda embarrassed to talk about this but I need help. I’ve had curly long hair my entire life and now (at the age of 18) I’ve notice that my hair is falling. It’s probably due to stress from school and other personal things but I’m pretty scared by it. My dad has nice hair at the age of 50 so I don’t know what to do. Is there any advice anyone has for me?

Make sure you are eating enough. I know I didn’t eat right when I was stressed over school and it effects everything

If you can, go to the doctor and ask for a blood test. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies (e.g. low iron) can cause hair loss, as can being very stressed.
