text: As it is normal to `shed' hair, I would be concerned if you are loosing HEAPS of hair, as this could indicate a medical condition. If that is the case, you need to visit your local GP! and get diagnosed. That's the safe thing to do. Next, the condition of your hair, nails, skin, etc CAN be affected by your nutrition intake....meaning, if you live on junk food....hmmmm...that would need fixing!! Also, visit the health food shop, or Chemist, and get a good vitamin suppliment for your problem. Ask, as there ARE supplements available for exacly what you are talking about! good luck.
