I know someone who’s hair fell out suddenly in clumps - it was all down to stress after all and it grew back ok like nothing happened after their stressful time passed - maybe yours is stress related and is equivalent to someone else with stress having stomach issues etc ?

My hair falls out when stressed for long periods. it always grows back.

Some people get alopecia areata which is when you get small bald patches. If it’s generally just coming out more get your haemoglobin and ferritin levels checked. When mine are low, especially ferritin, I lose loads of hair.

Look up.. Telogen effluvium... I went thru this and no doctors could figure out what was wrong.. I deagnosed myself they reasearch, then went to the doctors and they confirmed it. Thankfully my hair grew back and it’s now back to normal 2 years later..

it happened to me 2 years after having surgery. It happens when the body goes into shock, due to surgery, stress, etc. The follicles disconnect and the hair stars falling out, only when another hair starts growing . There is a test you can do to find out if it’s what you have... if you take a clump of hair and pull it, and most of the hairs come out easily, then you most likely have this temporary condition.

I was loosing my mind before I knew what it was..just keep in mind it’s temporary. Good luck!

Your welcome ... and I meant to say , 2 MONTHS, after surgery. It usually happens about 2 months after your body goes thru the trauma.
