Is Puberty Causing My Hair Loss at 16 Years Old?

Hi,
I am a 16 year old male, and i think i m losing my hair but i don’t know. Is it possible that this could be because of puberty perhaps, and to what extent is shedding hair normal?
Thanks

I am not sure how to comment without knowing more about you. Everybody loses 100 hairs per day… sometimes more, sometimes less. If you are paying more attention to your hair you may be noticing something that is normal, but you can definitely be noticing an increased hair loss rate. As you are a male and maturing, you may notice some stages of early genetic male pattern baldness (MPB). MPB starts as early as 16 years old in some men and it is related to the changes in your hormones combining with the balding genes. I am NOT suggesting you indeed have MPB, but I am just answering a generic question. To find out, go get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and if you are really in the evolving balding process this will make the diagnosis.
