Im Am Only 15
Posted: 10-22-03 19:37pm

I am only 15 and I lose a lot of hair, I have thick hair and when I take a shower I have some hair that falls out and when I brush it I fill up the entire brush with hair and even when I put my hair up its like that. Is this normal or should I get help or something, thanx for writing

I have really thick curly hair. The same thing happens to me. I would say that its not a problem unless u visiblly see baldness/thinning. Geezz sometimes I wish my hair would thin! Lol. But again im not a perfessional but just trying to help! Smile

I have the same thing! I say its stress and it just falls out! But I dont know. I just lose alot of hair. Not like ive ever had a bald spot because I have so much hair. I wish I had thin hair too! Alot of women with really thin hair love to tell me how they want my hair and im like no you dont! I want your hair!

It is normal to lose 100+ strands of hair a day. If you have longer or thicker hair it looks like you are losing more hair than someone with shorter thinner hair but on average you lose the same amount. Every morning when I take a shower and then brush out my hair, my brush fills up too....I have long thick curly hair. Malnutrition can cause hair loss but generally your hair would be falling out and not growing back in and you would begin to see bald spots. I doubt that is the case. I wouldn't worry about it - it is normal. You lose eyelashes and arm hairs all the time too but rarely notice because they are tiny. Its all normal Smile

i used to lose alot of hair just like you and when I visited a physician he took a blood test form me and he found out that I had anaemia! May be because of malnutrition Neutral he gave me iron pills and it really helped me although I couldn't regain my hiar Sad
