Sorry to hear that hun, it could be but don't panic there could be a number of reason. Like was your hair wet when you brushed it, when the hair is wet the hair isn't as strong so when you brush it it tends to break of easily. Nicola

could be alopicia which is a condition which makes you lose your hair.i have had that and luckily it does grow back.have you been stressed lately as this could be the root cause.if your worried make an appointment with your g.p.love and hugsxxxxxx(:

That happens as well, like I said the hair is week when it is wet. The other reason is what Linda has said, sometimes when we are stressed we do tend to lose some hair, but 9 times out of ten it does grow back. Nicola x

Have you been stressed out recently? That causes hair to fall out.
