Losing hair after Japanese Straightening...

  I have been losing a lot of hair after getting my hair Japanese straightned about 5 months ago. My hair is thin and I lose quite a few everyday. I'm so worried and not sure what to do. I am going to see a doctor soon but does anyone know what I could use to stop my hair from falling & possibly regrowing? Is anyone using women's rogaine? If so, does it work well & make your hair grow? Any other products? advice? please help! Thanks :)

Well, I'm not sure if this'll help coming from a guy, but I'd try not to worry as that much because I hear stress can cause hair loss (as well as other things, freakin' stress...).
