I'm sixteen and my hair falls out. Not like the normal couple of hairs. But, like I run my fingers through my hair and 10-20 hairs fall out. And when I take a shower there is hair all over. And it's not like it's dry and breaking of it falls out of my scalp. Anyone no what this problem is? I have to hair my hair up all the time because too much hair falls out during the day. Please help.

Humans lose 50-100 hairs a day. It's likely normal. I have very long hair, it's not going thin but it sure is all over the place. It's in the drains after a shower, in the brush etc.

hi there i loose a ton of hair too but ihhave a thyroid disorder .

it is good that you go to the dr and have them check your thyroid also i take vitamin e supliments and that seems to helpsome

it may not be thyroid but at the same time it dosent hurt to check good luck
