Adrienne, My daughter's hair fell out like crazy because of an allergy to eggs. She can't touch anything with egg in it, it doesn't matter whether the eggs are organic, free range, high Omega-3, or whether they are cooked or raw. She just cant have any chicken eggs, period. I used to wake up to find she had shed enough hair all over my bed to make a wig for a Barbie doll. Then she started pulling it out b/c of a salicylate sensitivity (berries, apples, tomatoes, olives). It came out very easily, in big clumps. The two intolerances made for one very bald little girl. :( Now that she's off eggs, she can have some high salicylate foods in moderation and she doesn't pluck. Even if she does start to pluck, the hair is firmly rooted and doesn't pull out very easily. Just a thought. You also might try head massage to increase circulation, and get a nice hairbrish like the Widu wooden bristle hair brush. It is very comfortable, doesn't pull or snag hair, and gives a nice massage with every use. I bought mine at http://www.chinaberry.com I also bought one for my MIL, whose hair used to fall out like crazy. It's been a lot better since she started using the brush.
