i am a 17 year old dude. i have long hair down to my shoulders and have had it this long for some time now. I have never even thought or been concerned about hairloss, but for some reason I started to become more so recently.
for a while now I've noticed that the hair on the right side of my head is weaker, more brittle, more easily pulled out, etc. This has been the case for about two years now though. when I pull my hair up to expose my forehead, the right side is a few centimeters higher than the left. i part my hair on the side and this is the side that gets less hair.
otherwise, my forehead is quite small (about 2.5 finger above my eyebrows).
For the past week or so that I've been concerned about this, i haven't noticed large amounts of hair falling out, except for today. i usually have no hair on my pillow, and about 10 fall out in the shower.
today however, I had about 20-30 hairs fall out in the shower and also more while drying my hair afterwards.
This freaked me out enough to come here and post about it, but i also read that it could just be "seasonal shedding" since it is fall.
as for my family hair patterns: My grandpa, uncle and dad(on his side) are all bald/balding. grandpa on my mom's side has a full head of hair at near 90. i take a lot more after my mom than after my dad.
what are the chances of me experiencing MPB? (sorry I have no pictures to provide atm)
