How to stop sudden hair loss?

Question

For the past two months, I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall, especially when I wash my hair or comb it. It feels very sudden and I'm getting worried about it. Can someone suggest how to stop this?

Beta, please don't lose peace of mind over this. I also lost hair rapidly in my late 30s due to work stress, but eventually, it stopped once I started eating regular home meals and sleeping on time. These phases come and go, just take a deep breath.

Honestly, don't waste time on onion juice or YouTube recipes, they might irritate your scalp more. Sudden hair fall needs proper blood tests to check iron and vitamin levels. Go see a proper dermatologist first to find the real root cause.

Are you dieting too hard or skipping meals? I noticed my hair shedding crazy when I cut out all fats to lose weight. Once I started adding ghee, eggs, and regular nuts to my daily routine, my hair started feeling happy again!

Mere toh pillow par daily hundred hair strands hote hain and I am getting so stressed watching this. Is this normal during monsoon season or am I actually balding? Pls tell me if anyone else faced this exact same sudden shedding.

I am also facing this since last month and honestly I feel very shy to go out now. Does using a mild baby shampoo really help in reducing the daily hair fall? Please do share if any gentle routine worked for you.

For me, sudden hair fall was the first warning sign of thyroid imbalance. I would highly suggest getting a thyroid profile test done. If the TSH levels are off, only a doc's thyroid prescription will stop the hair fall, home remedies won't work.

I went through the same phase last year. It is super scary but don't worry, it usually gets better.
