I think i am losing my hair at 16 years old?

Im only 16, and i think i am losing my hair, every time i shower, i find around 10 hairs coming out. I use styling gel regulary and hair spray. Could this be why? My dad is also balding too but i dont know when he was 16... help?I think i am losing my hair at 16 years old?
ummm well if u say ur dad lost his hair at age 16 then it could be possible that its genetic...and theres nothing really u can do about it...but if its because of using too much styling gel and spray...then that could be another factor for losing hair...those kinda stuff are always bad for ur hair.....so i wouldnt recommend using too much of it...I think i am losing my hair at 16 years old?
It is quite normal for one to lose old dead hair and new ones come in - we all do that in the shower or brushing our hair. However, don't ever count out the possibilty of balding at that age. I went to school with a guy (who was quite popular) who started balding around that age I think he was probably around 17 or so and he started out with a receding (spelling) hair line balding.





Now I know it can be upsetting at your age and at any age (there are options out there to fix that - they do cost money - that is if you do start balding). My fiance (of course he is in his 40's started balding in I think his 20's and got a hair transplant - he did not have it done all over though and he has a big bald spot - but I think he is very Hot! I think he is handsome the way he is and I am not the only one who thinks so. Women are always asking him out or hitting on him thinking I am not his girlfriend. So don't get down about it. Keep your chin up.





Like I said it might be just the normal dead hair falling out and new ones coming in that everyone has. So until it really starts happening or starts to show that you could be - don't worry. :)
Two things:





One, minimal hair loss (and ten hairs is pretty minimal, trust me) is normal. Vigorous brushing and washing could easy loosen hair or remove hair that was already disconnected from your scalp. Especially if you have thick hair, you should expect to lose some during your shower.





Two, stress can cause hair loss in teenagers. I would know, I've dealt with it. If one of your parents had issues with early balding, that also could affect you. Ask your dad when he started going bald.





Maybe you need to take a multi vitamin? You could have a deficiency
everyone loses hair after showering, especially girls. when hair gets wet, it becomes less strong than when dry. if you comb or smooth your hair when it is wet, don't be surprised when you see ten to twenty loose strands. As for your suspicions of balding, i don't think it is possible for a sixteen year old to go bald.



Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.

its absolutely normal to lose hair. You're basically shedding lose hairs. Like when you brush you hair, your brush isn't exactly hairless. So its absolutely normal. If you start losing patches of hair, than you have something to worry about.
i'm pretty sure like 10 hairs isnt bad.


but i would lay off the gel/hairspray/ and anything else you use.


you dont have to totally stop, but just cut back.
try mens rogain =] jk


but this might get serious


and 10 hairs isnt very much


im a chic and it happens to me


so if clumps start coming out


go see a pediatrician


it might be aloepecia


caused by high stress
every body loses(sheds) lots of hair every day. nothing to worry about.unless you have bald spots or your hair is coming out in handfulls.
YES !!! TRY NOT USING A LOT OF HAIR PRODUCTS IT MAKES YOUR HAIR FALL OF.!!


USE SOMETHING THATS NOT AS STRONG AS GEL!. LIKE MOUSSE OR SOMETHING
Maybe it's the hair products. I would suggest genetics but the bald gene usually skips a generation.
Hair does fall out. Everyones does- especially in the shower. And 10 is nothing to worry about!
you might have alopecia or maybe its just from all the crap you put in their, but when i would rub my hands through my hair i would always see alot of hairs coming out
the average human looses 100 hairs a day but if notice it coming out in clumps it is possible that it could be falling out
if your hair is thin and you overwash it: washing it every day, it will continue to fall out because of too much treatment
See if your parents will let you start taking Rogain. Better to start now before it's too late.
yup prolly goin bald dont worry about it theres alot of people like.
have you ever dyed your hair?
