15 year old facing hair loss

it is common to lose between 50-100 hairs per day, and this is especially noticeable when we brush or wash are hair. If your hair is long this can seem quite alarming as it looks a lot, but hair is being constantly replenished. There are between 100,000 to 350,000 hair follicles on the human head, when you think of these numbers, losing 50-100 hairs does not seem to excessive. Hair growth is cyclical and hair grows up to 3 years, then rests for 3 months, As new hair grows through it can dislodge the previous hair follicle, this is a very normal process.

Oh thank you I was so alarmed

Hair loss made me scared, I'm only 15 years old. When I brushed my hair, I lose about 50-60 hairs every time. What can I do?

I'm amazed at how many of you there seem to be out there. As I wrote elsewhere I never paid attention to hairloss, I'm 18, I didn't know anybody with that kind of problem but now there's this boy and I really like him, he's my age but he's so much more manly than the others I know, he's strongly built with actual muscles and he's got a lot of body hair, he told me he got it very young, and he's balding, he doesn't have a bald spot, but except for the crown and a line in front he's got very thin hairs everywhere, they are sparse and they don't grow long anymore, so you see the skin through them, he keeps the front line long and combs it over the rest but it's not enough to hide the skin. He thinks that in a year or so they will all be gone, he was told that given the state of his hairs on top of his head, most of them were in their last or one of their last life-cycles and wouldn't renew themselves anymore. He started to notice hair in the drain when he was only 14 and after a year or so the thinning became visible. He seems to live quite well with it, talking openly about it, but I think he also sees his effect on me and on girls in general. He lets me stroke his head from time to time, I badly want to touch it, it's such a nice feeling. I'd like to touch his body hair too but I'm afraid to ask plus he never touched me in return so I don't thing I'm his type at all.

Hi, I'm a woman, but I believe I may answer anyhow. 1. 100 strands a day is normal. Of course, that's for the whole day, not just in the shower. 2. You're in the midst of puberty and it's normal you lose hair: you're developing your adult hairline as a man, with bald temples. It doesn't mean at all that you're going to lose any more of it. Masturbation certainly has nothing to do with it, on the contrary, it relieves you of stress. 15 would be very young indeed. Of course there are cases, I myself know someone who started losing his hair during puberty and who ended up with a bald pate at only 19. But it's really the exception, don't feel alarmed.
