Sweetie don't stress too much. Do you know when you are born, you have one set of hair and then as you get older, you get "adult hair". Whoever said the average hair loss per day is 100 strands is absolutely right. I am in my mid-30's and I still lose about a small handful a day. It's been like this since I was a young teen also. You are not going to go bald. However, if you do start to notice thin spots, I would recommend seeing the doctor as there could be underlying medical problems. But from what you've said, it's just nature's way of keeping healthy hair on your head. Hope this helps...I know the teenage years are stressful enough.

Nice answer beth & carla and dishwasher (??) ....NOT.
It could be hormones...you're a teen, so it could be that, or stress or environment.
You do realize, of course that the average person loses about 100 strands a day? Don't worry about it too much unless it's becomes noticable (like bald spots or excessive thinning).
Try not brushing your hair as often (like only 1 or 2 x a day), washing it only every other day, and using a good conditioner in the shower & leave it on to condition the scalp along with your hair.
Finally, when you do brush it, start at the bottom & work your way up, rather than from scalp to ends - it puts less stress on the strands & roots.

Do you have a bald patch from it? If so, make an appointment with your doctor ASAP. It could be your thyroid gland is malfunctioning or a skin infection or what they call Alopecia.
If you have no bald patches, relax. Hair grows and sheds in cycles and it's normal to lose 100 strands of hair a day.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aMw3n While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

Sounds like your hair is just going through it's cycle of growing. Keep it clean and brush it twice a day. use conditioner every other day and make sure it has vitamin enriched formula. You might ask your parents to buy a different type of shampoo and conditioner. Good luck and I'm sorry to hear about that. Stay away from radioactive materials and ask your mom. she knows best.

Go see your doctor to get a physical to make sure that everything is ok like your blood counts and stuff like that. There could be something wrong with your health, I don't want to scare you. Best thing is to go to a doctor and check yourself to make sure everything is ok.

Ask your mom to shave your head and then buy a wig.Once your hair starts growing back it should be ok.

Go to your physician and try to figure out what could be triguring such dramatic hair loss.
