Hi , I'm 20 years old, have hair past my nipples..... and probably have hair more beautiful then most women and Asians........ but lately , everyday, more then ever I havbe been losing more hair then usual... either I'm noticing it more because its getting alot longer, because I'm stressed .... and also my head has been heaps itchy.. not nits but just the fact I can't stop scratching it? what is your opinions and experiences on this subject?
this happened to me once before and the only thing that solved it was to cut the hair. NOT all of it, just about 1/3 to 1/2 of it, and then grtow it back and then ur scalp will be used to havinghte longer hair and it wont be irritated
hope that helps
Welcome and thanks for the good question. You are likely noticing just normal hair loss, but the itchy scalp should be examined by a dermatologist.
Do NOT cut your hair, but do see the doctor. I look forward to seeing a photo.
Good Luck

It's perfectly normal to shed 100 or more hairs per day. All visible hair is composed of dead cells, so cutting off some of its length will have no beneficial effect on the condition of your scalp. You might want to try a shampoo and conditioner containing tea tree oil. Like Walter said though, if the itchiness persists, just see a dermatologist.

I'm going to chime in as well and say cutting your length will solve nothing regarding what you are complaining about.I totally agree with what Walter and Val suggested so I hope you follow their advice.Let us know how you make out and if you can post a pic that would be cool:)Take care my friend.
