    Okay first it's normal to lose hair everyday, upto 100 is normal however is it a recent change? If it's not the normal amount of hair loss it can be a number of things. I'm assuming your a girl with al your info (some boys brush!!) but it might me menstruation or it can be (hypothyroidism which i suffer). To have piece of mind tell your parents and visit your Doctor to be safe. Leaving it and stressing will only cause more hair loss!

    Hope i have helped :D

    Your hair cells die like all of the other cells in your body, Everyday thousand of cells die, but thousands are being made. It is normal for it to fall out when you take a shower or brush it if it didn't your hair would stink all the time from the rotting cells. So you are fine!

    See your doctor. Heavy metal poisoning (lead, mercury, arsenic) can lead to hair loss. The quality of your skin will deteriorate and roughen too. It could be a skin condition, or an infection of the follicles. It's worth going to a dermatologist or a doctor to get more information.

    I don't think so. Because my I have a sister and I see hairs falling all over the place, and I never see her actually losing her hair. I think this is nothing to worry about.

    I have a lot of loose hair too and I am 13. Use a special shampoo/conditioner that says "Prevent Hair Loss." something similar like that.

    i think that its just dead hair, when ever i get a hair cut, a lot of my hair doesn't come out. but when i need a hair cut, its like i'm losing gobs of hair. so i think its just a dead hair type thing.

    i think its natural, don't worry.
