    Age, stress, drugs (elicit and prescription), diet, circulation, the length of your hair (its weight), heredity all are factors. Try a hair loss product; but they are only successful on less than 1/2 the population.

    Im 14 and im also losing hair, ive been told its from using heat products such as straighteners because i use them a lot. also it depends on the weather and time of year. i lose a lot more hair than usual in the late summer.

    A similar thing happened to me when I was around 20. It turned out to be stress-related. At the time, just to be safe, the doctor also checked out my thyroid functioning - he told me that one of the main symptoms of thyroid dysfunction is hair loss.

    If it persists for awhile, I would definitely go to a doctor, just in case.

    I think this is normal. I have seen teenagers lose as much hair as you say. I wouldn't be worried if I were you. If you still think something is up, visit your hair dresser or maybe even the doctor.

    Hope this helps!
