my hair hurts what else can I say. Also I have dandruff (occasionally) and wear my hair frequently in ponytails. I fo not have any chemical damage (dyes, perms, relaxers) although my hair is physically damaged and I am not quite sure how to care for it. The wors t problem though is the hair loss, it has been going on for years and I sometimes worry it can not grow back, although I ahve never been completely bald but close to it. Please help me I have no idea what could be the problem. It feels terrible to run your hands through your hair just to have multiple strands come out in your hand.

Okay, here is what you can do to take good care of your hair. When you wash your hair, shampoo before you wash yourself. Then apply conditioner and comb it, don't rinse it out until you're done washing your body. That way, your hair will have enough conditioner treatment to it. When you rinse it out, don't like scrub it out just let the water flow through it and in the spots with most conditioner just make sure it's just a little bit of conditioner in your hair but not as much as before. When you're done with that, let your hair air dry by putting it in a braid or something. Something where your hair is like not moving around a lot. For instance, don't put it in a pony tail. When it's dry, put this product called Bio-silk in it, don't put a lot just a little if you're hair is thick and long but about the size of a dime on your palm and rub it in your hands and finger it through your hair. Take a brush with like thousands of bristles in it, don't use the kind that like comb/brush. Gently brush your hair at the roots. Then after that, take a comb and comb from bottom to top, doing that will decrease the amount of hair that comes out of your head. Anytime you comb your hair, go from bottom to top no matter what. If that doesn't work, then go to the hair salon and ask them what else you should do. They are the pros at what to do with hair. I really hope this method works for you as it did for me.

Go to a stylist it sounds like you need a hair repair treatment. You may have a scalp issue also, so go to a stylist ASAP

I don't know about the other stuff but...
I have an African American friend who has a hair loss problem...she told me that she puts GREASE on her hair. I think you can buy it at some stores.
Sorry that I don't know the rest but, I thought I'd tell you what I had heard and see if it helps

U need to buy a hair treatment there is one called olive hot oil treatment and it works really good and I'm not sure if you wear weave extensions or not but if you do and you are using bonding glue to put it in Stop!!! bonding glue eventually breaks your hair very bad,if you do wear weave extensions braid your hair tightly in about 7 braids going str8 back grease your scalp with a hair grease called hair food then get your weave sewed in instead of bonded once u remove the braids after about 2 weeks use the hot oil treatment,wash your hair,re-braid it and sew the extensions over the braids the more and longer you keep your hair braided and treated the more it will grow and if you wear wigs you can also braid your hair and wear the wig over them. good luck

To add to everyone who responded here, first and foremost you should see a doctor. Because something is causing your hair loss and it might be something a medical professional could help you with (alopecia maybe??).
If the doctor says you have no problems then what I would do is invest some money and see a good stylist. I'm sure the stylist can tell you how to take very good care of your hair. Another thing, lay off of the ponytails. Or at least make sure they aren't tight. Tight ponytails are a no-no. But like I mentioned you should first see a doctor. HTH

How often do you wash it? It should be at least every week. How often do you condition it? It should be every other day, at least 2x a week.
Do you use gel? If so, stop.
Do you use heat? If so, stop.
Are the ponytails tight? If so, no more tight ponys.
Do you use rubber bands? If so, stop
Do you use hair grease? If so, stop. Opt for natural oil based lotions
Do you use anything with mineral oil? Don't
Don't comb it often, get braids for awhile.
take vitamins, eat right, and drink plenty of water, eat jello and honey, limit white sugar.
