Hair falling out?!
Question:
Hair falling out?
I'm a healthy, seventeen year old girl. Daily, I probably loose about 20-30 hairs or more in the shower if I had to guess. Then also, when I run my hand through my hair one or two hairs fall out every now and then, but every day. Is this normal? How much hair loss per day is normal for a 17 year old girl? Thanks!
Answers:
Yep...everyone looses about 100 hairs a day. Its really normal and new ones grow in to replace the lost ones, so don't worry.
I lost a whole clump from one place when I was 25. It left a 2 inch bald patch for about 6 months. Very wierd. The doctor said its called Alopecia and it's caused by severe stress or shock. It grew back and its never happened again - but it gave me a bit of a scare.
I don't think this is happenning to you though so don't worry.
