Hi I'm new to this site. My name is Morgan I am 15 almost 16 and I am losing my hair really bad. I've recently been having stress problems and I don't know if that may be the cause. I dye my hair and straighten it a lot. I wash it like every two days. I'll just be laying down with my pillow and when I get up my hair is on my pillow. I don't know what may be the cause, but I'm getting scared that it may be something serious. Please help.

Both dyes and straighteners can be pretty rough on hair, causing breakage. However, remember that it is normal to lose some hair every day.
