I agree at what Engel said, stress causes hair to fall out. But also hair loss is affected by things like poor diet, unclean scalp and lack of sleep. Do the following and see if it doesn't make a difference:
1. Make sure you have a healthy diet, avoid too much junk food, with protein three times a day. Hair is mostly protein.
2. Wash hair regularly with mild shampoo as Engel said. Hair can't grow in an unclean scalp. Also use warm or cool water but never hot.
3. If you have to use a blow dryer, use the low setting or better yet wrap in a towel. Blow drying damages the hair.
4. Get plenty of sleep, this affects the health which also affects the appearance of hair.
5. If you live near an Indian salon, go for a good herbal hair oil treatment with coconut or brahmi oil, it will help your scalp recover.
6. Control the stress in your life otherwise it controls you.
Most health food stores sell otc formulas for healthy hair and nails, try one of those.
If the above measures don't do anything, make an appointment with a dermatologist.
