Should I Be Concerned That My Hair Falls Out with the Slightest Touch?

Hello, Im a 20 year old male with very blonde thin hair. I know that it is normal to lose roughly 100 hairs daily, but i notice that when i run my hand through my hair, hair seems to fallout more extensively then one would consider normal. Also i know you strongly suggest miniturization, but this loss of hair happens all over my head, not just in the typical balding areas. I am concerned because my hair is falling out so easily, the slightest touch or force applied to my hair will cause me to lose hair. Also, my grandfather on my dads side is bald, but my dad isn’t, and my grandfather on my mothers side is bald. So my question is should i be concerned about balding in regards to how easily my hair falls out all over my head, and based on genetics as well?

We emphasize on miniaturization studies because at this time it is one of the most accurate predictors of baldness. The number of hairs that you lose on a daily basis could be changed due to the physiologic alterations.

Although family history of baldness could be helpful to anticipate the balding pattern, it is not always a perfect method. You need to be seen by a good hair specialist and only after a thorough evaluation and considering all variables one can say whether you are balding or are only experiencing a physiologic shedding. It does sound like you may be obsessing over your hair, so an objective mapping of your scalp for miniaturization would be helpful to understand what is really happening to you.
