  • Hair loss in teeange girls is uncommon, but it's upsetting when it does happen. If your teenage girl is experiencing hair loss, check with a doctor because there may be an underlying cause.

    Stress

    A large amount of stress can affect all aspects of your health and lead to hair loss. Eating right, getting enough sleep and exercise, and learning to manage stress can help.

    Tight Hairstyles

    Pulling hair into a tight ponytail or braid every day is called traction alopecia and can lead to hair loss. The stress on the root of the hair can make it weak, eventually causing it to fall out prematurely--and sometimes permanently. Give your hair a rest once in a while.

    Serious Health Issues

    Hair loss can indicate a more serious health problem. Losing hair prematurely can be a symptom of an endocrine disorder, lupus and polycystic ovary syndrome.

    Medications

    Hair loss can be a side effect of medications. Some acne medications, mood disorder medications, diet pills with amphetamines, birth control medications and, of course, chemotherapy can cause hair loss.

    Trichotillomania

    Trichotillomania is a psychological disorder in which a person compulsively pulls out her own hair. This can be a sign of more underlying psychological issues, and should be dealt with by a professional counselor or psychologist.

    Hair Products

    Chemical hair products can cause damage to the hair follicle, resulting in hair loss. Overuse of hair products such as hair spray can also produce buildup on the scalp, which suffocates the follicle and stunts hair growth. Giving your hair an occasional break from sprays and other products will help.
