hello, this is common in decreased calcium levels, anaemia, vitamin deficiency and in some people ( trichotilomania) is a psychotic disorder. in my opinion u need to have ur blood tested for any deficiency and visit dematalogist to rule out any hairy disease where v can see easy hair fall and psychiatric consultation to rule out any depression.
