Hey everyone, I am 19 and I don't know what's going on with my hair. Before I begin, here's details on my family tree. So I know hair genes come from the mothers side, and my moms dad had full hair until he died, both my uncles have full hair (both in 30s) and my mom is doing fine as well. I lose about 20-35 hair strands a day and I don't think it's normal as I've never lost these many in a single day. During showers I lose about 5-15, and when I brush probably 1-2, and during the day probably around 5 and when I take a shower before I go to sleep, around 5-10. I don't know if this is normal because when I used to have short hair I wouldn't even notice hair shedding, but now it's long and I do. I am so paranoid because my dad is bald and I don't want to be at 19. My hair line is totally straight, and I have long hair in front of my hairline. I really don't know what's causing this and I am so petrified. When I pull my hair I lose like 1 every time. I know that when hair is wet it falls easily but if my hair was weak, there would be like 6-7 hair strands on my comb but I don't see any. I usually brush my hair after a shower and I don't find any hair strands on my comb (the comb itself is rat-tail and not wide tooth). When I pull it, I get like one-two hairs every 4 pulls. Any suggestions, am I going bald, am I just paranoid, what's going on?
