Are you on hormones??
Hormones can affect hair loss and growth drastically. It's common for a pregnant woman to have a lot of thick hair growth but once the baby is born she looses a lot of hair. Part of it is the physical stress of childbirth and a large part is the flux in hormones after childbirth.
Check with you Dr if you are on BCPs
Also there are several scalp conditions that can cause hair loss, Folliculitis, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, etc. Most of those are helped by using fugastatic creams such as clortrimazole on the scalp and shampoos with tar in them. If you don't like the smell of the shampoos you can always use a conditioner on your hair afterwards and it will help the smell. You can get Neutrogena tar shampoo or Nizoral (which as fungastatic medication in it) to treat most of the above conditions. If there is anything like that going on it would behove you to see a dermatologist who can better recommend ways to help.
I wouldn't wait to see a Dr because hair loss is easier to stop than it is to grow hair where none is growing anymore.
