Inform your parents so they can take you to a hair doctor or dermatologist. All types of medications can contribute to hair lost, braiding, twisting of the hair, wigs, hair accessories and chemicals. Best talk to your parents immediately.

-Make sure your hair getting necessary nutrients.

-Make sure you are using the correct shampoo according to your hair's type. Skin type and your hair requirements. Protein and vitamin.

-Make sure your hair is not suffering from certain issue such as bacterial problems ect . . 

-Make sure that you washing your hair properly and carefully while showering, give your scalp a good massage and wash up all the foams. Foam stays on your head, will turn into white masses and white masses eat up your hair's roots.

-Give your scalp light massages everyday at least five minutes. It helps the blood vessels for a good float and freshen your roots.

-Make sure you washing your hairbrush once in a while carefully in order of hygiene.

-Do brush your hair lightly and peacefully. Harsh brushing can damage your hairs.

-Don't use too much hair clips and ties. Rest your hair once in a while and if you do use, do it light and gentle. Don't treat your hairs too harsh.

-Don't use too much hair products such as sprays and creams all over your hair. If you do, do not let them lay on your hairs over 24 hours. Wash up properly and once in a while give them a rest free of any kind of product.

-Don't use too much heat for styling or drying your hairs. Heat constantly over your hair can burn off your hair's roots. And don't use heat specifically when your hairs are wet yet.

-Don't use hats when you're hairs are wet. Let them dry completely then use any kind of hat. It can damage the roots.

-Check your pillow. Make sure to use a good pillow/ pillow case, soft and cope with your skin and hair. Nothing harsh to scratch up your hairs.

-Sometimes skip using shampoo, the use of shampoo mainly is for washing off dust and certain substances. On the days that you are not out for too long, skip shampoo, using shampoo all the time can wash up the oils and natural nutrients off of your scalp and that dry up your skin which can end up with hair loss.

-Use hair conditioners, hair conditioners are mostly good and a boost to the hair which help to preventing the hair loss.

-Make sure your health is in order, for instance, too much lack of sleep or such health disturbs can contribute to damage on different parts of the body which hairs are included.

-Make sure to check yourself on psychological behaviors. Stress, tension, overthinking and insecurities can effect the hairs.

-Change of geographical locations such as trips, moving the household to another location, specially if there be huge differences on weather,humidity and temperature, these elements can involve in impressing the hair in negative ways which sometimes will cope automatically and sometimes needs help to cope.

Talk to your parents. Check those who can do on your own and for the rest of it take professional help and seek for solutions.
