My best friend is a professional stylist and I asked her the same question a couple of days ago. It really depends on your hair (thickness, length, coarseness, etc). It may or may not be normal to lose that much hair.
Stress can cause your hair to fall out more quickly, too. And if you aren't getting enough vitamins in your diet.
The best thing I could suggest would be to speak personally with a stylist. Let her take a look at your hair to give you a better idea.

If you have curly hair, you should stop using a brush and just let your hair exisit on it's wild side. yes use shampoo and just the bottom of the hair w/conditioner. Stop straightening your hair for a while that probably is making your hair thinner and worse besides curly hair is beautiful. Sometimes you might wanna brush your hair but a few days when you don't have to look your best, you shouldn't brush your hair. Try that. It also might be the type of shampoo you are using. Pantene makes my hair come out in clumps. If it gets serious to the point where you are balding, go see a doctor.

If your hair is thick it is not uncommon to lose hundreds of hairs a day...it looks bad to you but they are growing back at the same rate so no need to worry. On the otherhand if your grandfather AND your mother have thinning hair then you might want to see a doctor. Some women carry the gene for baldness and the sooner you seek treatment the better the outcome.

I'm glad you mentioned that you STRAIGHTEN your hair ... because that IS the problem. Straightening your hair & coloring it causes a lot of damange to & your hair starts to fall out slowly. You should use a heat protective spray for your hair if you must straighten it but don't do it too much. I've read in a magazine that straightening the same part of your hair more than TWICE is already too much. Don't do it if you don't have to...& protect your hair especially since you're young.

It occurs to each physique, its like once you sweep your hair a number of your hair comes out, its basically previous hair and everywhere as much as one hundred strands can come out. nevertheless in case you seem to have great chunks at a time in keeping with risk look into distinctive hair shampoo and conditioner. additionally in case you blow dry, straighten or tie your hair tightly this might make hair fall out extra many times, so try cut back down in case you do those.

Get your thyroid tested. A little hair falling out is normal as our hair sheds, but if it is in chunks it could be your thyroid and that needs to be treated with special medication.
Also a hairstylist I know says that if you have an eating disorder your hair is the first thing to go - so if you do not eat right, change that. If you eat just fine then get yourself tested at your doctors office!

it could be hormonal... i use to lose a lot of hair (by the handfull practically) when I was a teen.. my sister and I shared a bathroom and both of us would leave tons of hair everywhere! to make matters worse (back in the 80's) cheap hairspray was popular but it made everything sticky... hair just stuck all over... never had a problem since until 4 months after the birth of my baby.. now i am getting hair everywhere again and have to sweep the floor daily...dont worry. it shouldnt be enough to make you bald.. try to brush your hair before bed and before showering (to save your drains) it may help with the annoying tickle of a loose hair on your back - have you changed your diet? perhaps poor nutrition is to blame.....good luck

maybe it's nothing to worry about because it is summer time. your hair need to shed because of the heat. if patches are falling out then you need to talk to an doctor but if it is just small amounts of hair try vitamins and hair conditioners. are you stressed out ? sometimes that can cause your hair to fall out. don't trip if it is not patches of hair.

i think you should stop straightening your hair for a little while....the same thing happened to me.....your hair might be heat damaged and breaking off and splitting....i have thick hair and my hair got a little thinner because of it but when i stopped getting my hair straightened and whore it natural........it stopped coming out.
