[quote=Anonymous]I had very long hair like this and when I was around her age to age 10 when it started rapidly falling out.  I'd had no other things going on in my life that could be the cause like your DD has (swimming, lice treatment, medicine), so my mom took me to my doctor who did some tests and ended up declaring it was hormonal.  She said it was due to the onset of puberty and changing hormones, much in the way that women often experience hair loss after giving birth.

Some days it seemed like more hair fell out than others.  It started slowing down from age 11 on until I got my first period.  I did end up cutting my hair because I couldn't stand the long strands that would get all over everything, especially when wet.

My hair has never been the same since it started falling out.  Before it was very thick and very healthy looking.  After it began falling out, my hair became very thin and the new hair growing in was much more fine.  I'm in my late 30s now and my hair is still very fine and thin.  I have no proof, but I always wondered if it was somehow related to the length of my hair because my sister, who always had short hair, never went through the same thing.  She still has full, thick hair like our mom.       [/quote]
