Hi, Im a 14 male and losing hair.I have been checked by a doctor (just a GP) and have been told that i have a very healthy scalp and that its not a scalp issue. I do not have hereditary hair loss in the family, my father is in his mid 50’s and still has all his hair. I have always had very ‘big’ sort of hair so its becoming increasingly noticeable. Im not losing terrible amounts of hair, only about 30-40 per day , but it is very stressfull. Especially when i have to wash my hair, and also when i wake up in the morning and have 15 + hairs on my pillow.
Is this ‘normal’ so to speak? Could it be stress related? Am i just shedding? Please help me out. Thanx.
The average person loses 100-150 hairs per day. What fall out you are noticing in the shower is probably less than what you lose during the day when you are not washing your hair. It is normal.

Hello, You are so lucky you are losing that little amount of hair. Atleast you do not lose 150 to 160 hairs a day, like me. And i am on 13 years old AND A FEMALE! it is not fair! it is extremely stressful, like you said, but dude, i am positive you are just fine. A few hairs a day is no harm whatsoever.
Umm…im not hair as badly but i am and im so stressd out cause i have thin hair and both my mom and dad have thinning hair in their 30’s…and to see that makes me scared and worried
I’m 22 and about 30% away from being completely bald. I feel way to young for this. My self esteem drops everyday.
