18 years old, worried about hair loss?

Hello. I'm an 18 year old male who's a bit concerned over my hair :P

I've started noticing since I've grown my hair fairly long (Down to my chest) that I've been experiencing a lot of stray hairs particularly in the shower, and occasionally just on my shirt (I believe from brushing) or from running my hands through my hair (Normally with wet wair I experience some hair fall, but sometimes it happens dry).

I know that you lose somewhere around 100 hair strands a day, and my hair is quite long at the moment. Could it have to do with the length of my hair? My hair is also fairly "rough" to manage. It's quite curly when not dried properly, I have a good ammount of tangles in my hair and when I don't wash it often enough it gets oily very easily.

Am I being too anal about my hair? I haven't noticed much receding or bald spots or anything so far. The only receding I think I MAY have (a little more than when I was a kid), I've heard happens through puberty (small receding)

Thanks

what you also can do is use a good conditioner. ( IE Not store Brand) Like a biolage conditioning Balm you could also use biolage hydrating shampoo as well. when you get out of the shower use some kind of light (Breck for kids works really well and smells like watermelon) leave in detangling conditioner, spray just on the ends and use a wide toothed comb starting at the roots and working toward the ends.

as for the hair loss, depending on the fineness and amount to damage that has been done to your hair you could be loosing between 100 to 200 hairs a day. (due to breakage and natural hair growth.) it's nothing to worry about just yet. If you do start to get some scalp showing. use Nioxin it will thinken up the hair shaft of what's still there and clean up the hair folilcals to allow for your hair to start growing again. :)

your hair sheads naturally everyday...it appears worse because it is longer...but it is quite normal for you to have hair loss...one other thing if you are takling any types of medication....sometimes that can have an affect on the way your hair sheads...but it is normal to lose about 100 strands per day...looks like more when it is longer

No matter if your hair is worn long, short or somewhere in between, healthy hair is always in fashion. Learn how to get healthy hair and how to fake it until it gets there.

Instructions

* STEP 1: Get any split ends you may have trimmed off. No matter what a product claims, nothing will repair split ends except a trim. If split ends are left uncut they will continue to split farther up the shaft and damage more of your hair. Get rid of them to keep the damage to a minimum.

* STEP 2: For moderately damaged hair, find a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Choose products specifically for dry/damaged hair.

* STEP 3: Try shampooing your hair less. Washing your hair every day can strip natural oils that help protect the hair and keep it looking and feeling healthy. Try washing your hair every second or third day to maintain a natural moisture balance.

* STEP 4: Try using products such as a proteinizer and reconstructor if you have extremely dry hair. The proteinizer will strengthen your hair while the reconstructor will work on a molecular level to replace what your hair is missing.

* STEP 5: Try using styling products with added shine enhancers, such as silicone. They will give your hair sheen and help protect each strand against the damage of heated styling tools, such as blow driers and flat irons.

* STEP 6: Give your hair a break from the heat. Try using styling tools such as blow driers, flat irons, curling irons, and hot rollers sparingly. Whenever possible let your hair air dry either completely or most of the way and only blow dry to finish off the drying process. Try using your flat iron or hot rollers only every second or third day, which will be easier if you don閳ユ獩 wash your hair everyday. Just touch up in the morning instead of going through your entire styling routine.

* STEP 7: Once you finish styling your hair, spray on a shine spray product to combat dull hair. You will only need two to three quick shots, so this product will last a long time.

* STEP 8: Regular trims are a must. Visit your stylist every four to six weeks to have the very ends trimmed to avoid your hair閳ユ獨 ends splitting.

* STEP 9: If your hair is still looking dry and dull, try having a semi-permanent hair color applied by your stylist. These colors are ammonia free and won閳ユ獩 damage your hair. They simply coat the hair shaft, making them appear smoother and shinier. A darker hair color can also make hair appear healthier.

* STEP 10: Don閳ユ獩 want a new color but what the shine? Go for a glossing instead. This clear coat for your hair will give you the shine and smoothness of a color but won閳ユ獩 change your natural hair color one bit.

* STEP 11: Be good to your hair. Obviously it got damaged somehow so try to avoid a repeat performance. Avoid too many chemical processes, such as colors and perms, and avoid other hair wreckers such as chlorine, sun and tight elastic bands. Switch to semi-permanent colors, lay off the perms for a while and cover up your hair when in the sun or pool.

Overall Tips %26amp; Warnings

* To avoid further damage from heat styling, try wearing your hair in a low pony tail or chignon bun.

* Avoid elastic bands completely. These cause breakage in your hair. Opt for soft pony tail holders instead.
