o.k so i posted a while back about the amount of hair i lost when washing it. Im posting again because im seriously worried about it. Everytime i wash my hair im losing about 60-70 individual hairs. Im only 20 and my hair is fairly short anyway. I mean this cant be normal can it? it probably works out at about 90-100 hairs a day....thats 700 odd a week!!! I don't really notice any bald spots apart from my temple area, im almost certain its receding

Should i see a doctor or am i just panicking too much

thanks alot.

a lot of men go bald before they reach 30. but dont fret the average person loses 80 to 120 hairs a day. though you may not be able to tell but new hairs form every day. if your family genetics have a history of male hair loss you might want to prep for it. receeding hair line takes a while. my brother in laws started when i first meet him around 8yrs ago he is turning 30 and it is barly noticeable sorry bout the spelling

Please read the "sticky" post at the top of this board regarding the use of proper words.

Hi, Donald -

I'm not sure if I've asked you before on your previous threads, but are you on any medications? There are quite a few out there that cause hair loss.

hi, sorry i took so long to reply, im not currently on any medications and never have been really. Im still losing alot of hair, in fact it seems to be getting worse. The other morning about 200 came out and i've just washed it and i lost about 150. They just keep coming, and i can literally just pull them out without any force. Its pretty upsetting watching all this hair come out and im 100% sure its not normal. Im pretty sure its not genetics either because both sides of my family have a decent amount of hair even in old age. What do think i should do? Im taking vitamins but they dont seem to be helping. Thanks.
