Hair falling out?
Hello, i'm 14/f and when I shower I lose pretty much a lot of hair. I shower every day and wash my hair. So, my question is, is it normal to be losing a lot of hair? I feel like i'm gonna be bald at some point in my life :P. Not to mention that I have more hair on my left side than I do on my right because my ear sometimes shows, haha. So yeah, is it just me and I will have less hair or is it normal?

Yes, it IS normal to lose a lot of hair but there are some things you can do to prevent it. You actually might be showering too much, using too much hot water or heating products on them, etc. A hair's natural oil is what protects it the most. Shampoos wash out the natural oil and replace it with things not naturally found in the hair, conditioner adds even more moisture/oils but like I said, it isn't natural to the hair.
You may be washing out your hair's natural health ability to protect itself and keep itself healthy before it is fully replenished. Just give skipping a day in between washing your hair a try and see how it goes. You can still shower by using a shower cap.
Also if your hair being thinner on one side bothers you, try parting it to the side or doing a zigzag part. A combination of the two would also work.

I lose a TON of hair in the shower, like half way through I have to remove the hair from the drain so it keeps draining. On the same note though, I have very thick hair so I lose more than the average person. I would say that if you are noticing your hair actually visibly getting thinner (regardless of the amount of hair you are losing) then I would go talk to your doctor. If the thickness is staying the same though, you're fine, like I said, I lose a TON of hair in the shower.
