Millions and millions of people world wide suffer from partial or complete hair loss. There exist varied reasons of this agonizing problem. So it is very difficult for dermatologists to ascertain exact reason of hair loss.
However if the loss of hair strikes after usage of certain medications, it could be easily adjudged as a side effect of medication. But many a times the underlying reasons for hair loss remain unidentified. And one such hair loss is deficiency related hair loss. Malnutrition or deficiency of nutrients and vitamins often paves the way for hair fall. So you must check your sharp hair fall against these deficiencies.
Hair follicles require certain vitamins to carry on their constant function of regeneration and growth. If follicles remain deprived of these vitamins they won't be able to carry out their normal functioning and may result in hair loss.
Most often due to poor dietary habits or disturbed metabolism folks happen to be deficient with these vitamins. So a change in dietary habits or food intake is necessary to ensure enough intake of necessary vitamins for hair in order to prevent hair loss.
Vitamin A, E and B are of special significance in keeping the healthy hair.
Vitamin A keeps hair moist by helping them to secrete sebum in scalp as per requirement. This sebum keeps hairs away from dryness. This dryness of hair happens to be first step towards hair fall. So there must not be deficiency of this vital vitamin that also happens to be an anti oxidant.
Vitamin E performs the vital function of increasing level of blood circulation towards scalp and also helps follicle cells take enough oxygen. This result in enhanced ability of follicles to regenerate and grow hair. And the deficiency would adversely affect follicular function.
And four different types of vitamin B also cast adverse effect on hair condition if present in less than needed level. Biotin is a complex vitamin B that effectively curbs hair loss and contribute greatly in keeping hairs firm on scalp. Milk and egg yolk are major sources to cover up this deficiency. Para Amino Benzoic Acid is another B complex that is of equal significance for hair nourishment. Vitamin B6 and Inositol are other two B vitamins that are necessary for healthy hair.
If you are facing deficiency of these vitamins you should incorporate food items in your diet to ensure sufficient intake of these vitamins. It would lessen possibility of hair loss.

Men and women shed at least 100- 125 strands of hair per day and have it replaced after 2- 3 months with new hair growth.
Although it is a natural occurrence women do not want to accept it as normal because it is expected that they have thick, luxurious, healthy hair. Hair health really matters to women.
It is well known that women of all ages should take vitamins for their health however it seems that not all women know that a lack of vitamins can affect the health of their hair. Lack of iron, zinc, and B vitamins may cause hair loss in women.
A standard multi-vitamin or natural supplement designed for hair loss can provide the correct amounts of these vitamins that may be missing from many women's diets.
There are lots of different products on the market place. Do not simply waste money on what is known as 'retail' supplements, designed for that purpose, to make the shop money! You need 'pharmaceutical' supplements, there are higher quality and proven to give your body what is actually in there. For hair loss and control I recommend the below site as they contain a great balance and are high quality.
Thanks hope that helps

Vitamins are participating in metabolism process. Shortage of certain vitamins or minerals always lead to health problems. Especially it has a big influence on the hair and nails conditions. The main vitamins for hair loss are B vitamins, as well as A, E and C. Besides multivitamin complex you can receive these vitamins from food. Please find a list of the products, that are strongly recommended as a source of forementioned vitamins: fish oil, dairy butter, eggs, vegetable oils, nuts, groats, fruits and vegetables.
Minerals are the part of the human body. They take a part in ferment and hormonal processes and are necessary for uptake of vitamins and other nutrients. To prevent a hair loss you should check if your diet contains all the mentioned minerals: zinc (oat and buckwheat groats, walnuts, shrimps, beans), iron (liver, nuts, egg yolk), molibdenym(kidney, pea, cacao), sulphur (garlic, liver, fish, beans), silicium (whole grain products, root vegetables).
Another way is to deliver the vitamins and minerals directly to hairs by applying it with hair mask. You could apply it at home 1-3 times per week. Here are some compositions. Mask for strengthening of dry hair: 50 g of vegetable oil and 10 drops of lemon juice. Pour it into the cup and heat it by placing the cup in saucepan filled with hot water. Then rub the liquid in hair roots and wait 2 hours. Afterwards wash the head with shampoo and rinse with liter of water with 1 tablespoon of apple vinegar. Mask for strengthening of oily hair: 1 egg, 1 ml of liquid B1 or B6 vitamins. Rub in hair roots, wait an hour and then washwith shampoo plus rinse with water with vinegar

Hi,
I've read that a major factor in hair loss for women your age is hormonal changes. If there's a possibility you may be pregnant then that may be the cause.
Stress can also be a factor - are there any new events or circumstances in your life that might be stressing you out?
You also may want to check to see if hair loss runs in your family - heredity is definitely a cause as well.
I did a Google search and found a lot of useful, third-party info on the site below - check it out:

What sort of deficiency causes female hair loss?
I'm only 20 and I've noticed that my hair is thinner than usual. I don't have bald spots and it's not just in one place. I notice when I take a shower a lot of hair falls out. Does anyone know if I'm not getting enough of a certain vitamin or mineral?
