hair shedding
17/f and wondering about the shed rate of my hair. I have light brown (natural) hair of normal thickness, and I take good care of it with regards to shampoo, conditioning, air drying, etc. I just don't understand, I know it's winter, but my hair seems to be shedding alot. Every time I shower (every/ every other day), there's a little clot left at my drain. Whenever I brush it, a good pinch accumulates in my brush. Almost every time I run my fingers through it, at least one follicle comes out. Is this normal?
I go to a competitive high-stress prep school, get about 6/7 hours of sleep a night (whatwith work), don't have a current winter sport, and eat healthfully.

I have the same problem. I shed A LOT!! I have learned that even though I have shed a lot of hair, I still have plenty on my head, and don't notice the hairs that have fallen out. Sometimes, stress can cause more than usual hair loss, but typically it's nothing to worry about. Now, if you start getting bald spots (which I doubt you will), then go see a doctor, but until then, I wouldn't worry. Good Luck!!

Hair naturally sheds.
I would say if you have excessive amounts of hair coming out, it could be caused by stress.
If it is too bad, you should see your doctor and make sure it isn't caused by an underlying health issue.
