That's okay. It's normal. At least once a year a woman looses a good amount of hair. It's just a process of your hair growing. This is actually healthy, so don't worry. It's common that you loose it after showering or brushing your hair. Don't worry...you're fine. =]

Yes, that happens to me sometimes too, especially when I was in Jr high and starting out in high school. I'm not sure exactly what the cause is, but I am sure that you're not going bald, and it's normal. There's one thing I did notice when it happened to me though. If I put my hand around my hair and gently pull as I slide it off, 2-5 strands of hair will come off! So I wondered, what happens to them when I don't do that? Ever see other girls hairs in the floor of the locker room or sinks or the shower? Ever see a long strand of hair clinging to somebody's shirt? We all lose about that much hair every day, and probably a lot more too. It's normal. We have so many strands that we don't notice, and we grow new ones at the same pace we loose them, so... you really shouldn't worry.
But, if your problem becomes increasingly worse and you're losing around 15 or more hairs at a time, you might want to see a doctor right away. I hope I helped.
p.s. I've never highlighted or dyed my hair in my life so that's not why, and Im 17 too.

Hair goes through cycles too I think. Sometimes we lose more hair than other times. As long as you have no balding spots don't worry! I lose lots of hair too and sometimes wonder, but I still have lots left. Highlighting your hair likely has nothing to do with losing a few strands...and if you are only losing 3 or 4 that is nothing to worry about. The average person sheds around 100 hairs per day...and the average person has about 100,000 of them.

it's NORMAL to lose your hair, so you can stop worrying. You can lose between 30 & 100 hairs a day. Depending on how long ago you got the highlights they could also be contributing to your hair loss. Sometimes a chemical service can cause the hair to fall out a bit more than it would normally, this is still ok & completely normal. If you start losing hair in clumps or notice it's looking thinner then you should start to worry & see a doctor, but if it's only a little bit after you wash or brush your hair it's fine.

Oh no honey...3 or 4 strands of hair is nothing. it's natural for some of your hair to fall out. From all the protein anyway. It's nothing to worry about, unless you get like 50 at a time. Then you could have a problem, probably from stress or the weather.

On average you loose 70 to 100 hairs a day so loosing a few when you shower is not unusual. The hi lites probably are not causing the hair to fall out unless its really damaged. I would not worry about it. For every one that falls out another is growing in its place. It grows in cycles. : )

NO, gel received't make your hair fall out. a lifeless ringer for wearing a hat always received't make our hair fall out. Hair loss (in men and typically in women) is virtually continuously the end results of hormones. it may harm your hair, causing cut up ends and breakage, notwithstanding it received't make your hair fall out. in case your hair has fallen out, i ought to go see a clinical professional, likely a dermotologist, it may well be a hormonal imbalance, or different difficulty.

3 or 4? Don't sweat it. It is perfectly normal.
I have a better question:
Why is it that every time by hair falls out it is the black ones and never the white ones?

You probably brush your head to hard and use harsher products. Since it was your first highlighting experience you were probably allergic to some of the chemicals. Go to a doctor and get him to check it out for you.

It may be because you arn't getting enough nutrients in your diet. It could also be that you are really strssing. It is normal to lose up to 50 hairs a day since it is always growing
