It is very normal for people to lose up to 100 hairs per day. However, if you are experiencing excessive hair loss, it can be caused by a number of reasons.





Andro alopecia is the most common form of hair loss which is basically hereditary. Hair loss products such as Rogaine can help these cases.





Other causes can be hormonal problems, pregnancy, disease, stress, infection, bad reaction to a medicine, perms, and even certain hairstyles such as pigtails.





If the cause is stress, pregnancy, or taking certain medication then the hair loss may be a short term event and it will grow back when the even passes.





But due to your age I would say the reason is most likely stress, however, I would recommend seeing a doctor and see what they have to say. I wouldn't take any of the over the counter hair loss solutions such as Rogaine or minoxidil without being seeing a doctor due to your age.





In the meantime, you can make sure you are eating correctly and getting the right vitamins and nutrition. There are some sites you can go to such as http://www.hairlossresource.net to read about some vitamins and foods you can eat for nutritional value.My hair is falling out.. i'm a 16 year old girl..?
1. extreme stress


2. alopecia- its a hair loss disease. i have it and i dont have any bold spots or anything but i do loose a lot of hair randomly specially when i wash my hair or take it out of a pony tail. alopecia cases can vary from an extreme case where people have bold spots and loose eyebrow hair and lashes or less severe cases like me that just loose a lot of hair but wont get bold spots or anything..but who knows maybe your fine dont stress out till you see your doctor
Well, there are many possibilities to your problem. But one that comes to mind for me is stress. Being a high school student and around your age, probably a junior. That's when all the AP classes arise and where high school is most important.


If your not in AP or anything stressful. Make sure to look at your hair products and research on related symptoms.


There may a rare chance that you have some sort of cancer and it is falling out.
Use thickening cleansing agents. There are many shampoos and conditioners on the market that are geared towards helping an individual thicken her hair. They can be bought at hair salons or some drug stores. Nioxin and Rogaine are among the most popular ones. The key to success with these products is using them regularly.

the main cause is stress and poor eating habits, it happens to me sometimes during very stressful weeks and when i am loaded with exams, but it gets better when everything goes to normal. :)
If your straighten your hair alot etc it might be breaking mid shaft..


If it's pulling out from the root or even mid shaft etc maybe you're not getting enough nutrients etc?


either way.. good call going to the docs tomorrow
get some of that stuff that they sell on tv for men it should work for you. it worked for my mom and my dad soooo!.
Have you been under a lot of stress lately? sometimes you can get hair loss when your really stressed out.
Either you're dying your hair too much OR your under a lot of stress either way just go to your doctor hun and see what they tell you =]
Hormonal Imbalance.
it could be stress, your diet, or hormones. its good to go to the dr and to get checked out.
You must be going through some stress.
