Your stylist may very well be correct. In fact, Glamour magazine reports that about 43 million American women between the ages of 20 and 30 suffer from substantial hair loss due to over-processing. On average you should lose 100-150 strands every day. If you feel that you are loosing more than this, you have cause to be alarmed.
In addition to coloring, straightening and chemicals, other culprits may be blame for your excessive hair loss. Wearing elastic bands with metal marts too tightly around the hair can increase hair loss. Try using Elastic hair bands with no metal parts. Excessive use of hot tools on a regular basis can make the hair more fragile and prone to breakage as well. Your edges and the ends of your hair are most susceptible to this type of breakage.

Wet-set your hair as opposed to using hot tools sometimes. Also give yourself regular deep-conditioning and protein treatments. Incorporating a balances diet in your lifestyle can also help to curtail hair loss. Try eating foods high in biotin, iron, zinc and protein.
