As a female hair loss specialist, I chose not to answer your question assuming by your name you are a male? Another answerer copied and pasted an entire article which I wrote on female hair loss as a reply to your question, and sited a completely unrelated website as the source.

Like others said, you actually lose a lot more hair than you think every day. If your hair is long you will notice it more. Go to the drs if you are getting stressed as stress doesn't help!
thats normal an average person looses atleast 100 strands daily oh and don't use to much hair glue
Hi there Mike!



I myself was worried about the condition of my hair for awhile there, especially because I used to have color in it and I used to straighten it pretty much everyday for school. (Yes I am a guy who straightens his hair lol)



But I think if you look after your hair by using natural waxes and gels without alcohol based products in them your hair might stop falling out.



Also you may need to try something like head and shoulders? a product that strengthens the hair as well as cleaning it and remember not to wash it too often. Once every 2-3 days is enough, otherwise you'll strip your hair of all the natural oils your body uses to protect it.



I actually did some quick research for you and found an article by Mike Selvon an expert in hair loss and I took this extract from an article he wrote over at ezine articles.



';Some amount of hair loss is inevitable as we age. In fact, an average healthy human being loses a certain amount of hair daily. For most, this lost hair grows back, yet for many the problem starts when the body isn't capable of hair regrowth. Then the problem of thinning hair or hair loss starts surfacing. Action should be taken before it's too late.



There are many types of treatments available for hair loss. The safest and cheapest treatments are the herbal and home remedies, and these methods should be tried first before opting for other costlier remedies.



There is no cure for baldness, yet understanding what causes the condition is important. Excess stress, lack of hair care, a dirty scalp, and the lack of nutritious foods can precipitate hair loss. As well, consuming excess amounts of caffeine, sugar, fats and carbonated drinks can cause hair loss.



On the contrary, various forms of exercises that require the body to be bent forwards or backwards will also result in increased blood flow to the scalp, which will promote healthy hair and a healthy scalp. Consuming foods rich with essential nutrients will also promote healthy hair growth.



Home remedies for hair loss are the best options, and they are safe and dirt cheap. They do not have any side effects and don't cause any damage. And the good news is that there are so many remedies available to stop hair loss, that if one doesn't work another one might.



One of the methods is to take some fenugreek seeds and soak them in water overnight in a big bowl. Next morning, apply the water to your scalp and wrap the head in a towel. Let it remain like that for three hours and then shampoo to get rid of the fenugreek smell. Following this routine daily for a month may solve your problem; however, those who catch colds easily shouldn't try this or stop as soon as they feel that they are about to catch cold.



Another method for hair loss prevention is to apply castor oil to hair roots and scalp before bedtime, yet try to avoid getting castor oil on the rest of your hair. In the morning, shampoo to remove the oil. Continue this process once every week for 7 to 10 weeks. This is one of the many hair loss treatments that may stop hair loss, although it may not work for some people. There is no harm in trying this treatment.';



I hope all this helps you a bit and if you are thinking you need to try a specific hair loss preventative product I am currently promoting one at the moment which is considered to be the number 1 but you can decide that for yourself lol, just look for the link in the sources box and I've also provided the direct link to that article by Mike Selvon



Take it easy champ!
