I Lose About 50 Hairs a Day!

Hello,

My dad has a full head of thick hair at 63. My mom has thick and curly hair. I have the thick and curly hair as well. I am 21 years old. I believe I have a Norwood 2. My uncles from my mom side are bald on top but have hair around the head. My uncles from my dad side do not bald. I have just recently, I believe seen my mature hairline. I had my hair thinned out before I got it cut. I have a feeling of thinness in my mid scalp region. I am scared that I am balding. What should I do. I lose about 50-60 hairs daily.

Thank-you

Its normal to lose 100 or so hairs a day, so you’re within reason. You probably lose more each day without realizing it (showering, outdoor activities, etc). You can try to find a doctor in your area for an examination — but I can’t tell you if you’re in the early stages of genetic hair loss or not without an exam. Try to find a doctor in your area by using the physician search at ISHRS.org.
