    Default I am 20. Am I losing my hair?

    Since I was 16, I always styled my hair with some hai wax right after I had a shower. That way hair wouldn't seem to fall, cause they were tusck together. And while i was showering I never looked for hair falling on the tub, or staying on my hands. So for 4 years (I am 20 now) I never saw a hair falling from my head. I knew there were some of my hair falling but i had never checked. So now taht i am 20 i grew my hair and stopped styling them and I wore a ponytail everyday. And then it hit me...One time that i removed my hairband there were like 20 haire on it. I was shocked. That was one month ago. I became obsesed and i noticed how much hair i lose everyday. I run my fingers in my hair all the time and in 20 minutes imanged to coolect 50 hair just by doing that. I dont know if my shedding is normal or i am going bald. I dont believe my hair line is receding neither i have bald spots. But the shedding keeps happening and in my opinion its a bit more than normal. What do you think? Am i losing my hair or i just started to notice something normal? I am certenly losing my mind over it lol.

    PS: Sorryt for my bad english and i am also new here

    I see no signs of hairloss in your photos. It's normal to loose around 100 hairs per day and it's possible that you have only just noticed your normal, daily rate of hair shedding. You describe how you used to use styling products but recently stopped and this could be the reason that you just noticed the shedding. Products do tend to make the shed hairs stick to the surrounding hairs and stopping using the products would be the kind of change that you would notice. Also, with longer hair, the hairs will be more easy to see.

    Basically you've got a set of circumstances that could lead to you noticing more hairs are shedding. No need to be worried yet.

    Many thanks for your reply. The thing is that i ma becoming obsesed. I run my hand through my hair and pull them about 30 times a day lol. And every time i do that there are like 1-3 hair strands left on my hand. Do you think i should see a doctor ? What kind of doctor? I want to visit one so i can stop worrying too much. Part of my obsesion is that my older brother lost all his hair during my age.
