something tramatic happened about 3 months ago- don't worry..it is temporary. i started losing my hair (falling out in CLUMPS) after going through a period of near anorexic behavior. it took 3 months from when that behavior started to when i started losing my hair. by that time i snapped out of by eating issues. your body will recover and the hair will start to grow back again. it may take up to 1 year for everything to get back to normal and about 6 months for the hair to start growing back. it is VERY important that you eat healthy, exercise and basically take care of yourself during this period. otherwise it will take longer for the hair to come back...don't freak out =)
