I have no idea if this is what's happening, or if I'm just worrying too much - but whenever I wash my hair, or occasionally when I run my fingers through it, I pick up a few small, short pieces of hair that has fallen off. Am I losing my hair at the age of 17, or is this just a common 'thing that happens'? Thanks in advance.

I'm 17 too, and I had the same problem last year. I was shedding all over the place and I was kind of freaked out. When I looked into it a bit more I found out that it's natural to lose around 100 hairs a day, but if you have a lot of stress in your life or are really tired you'll probably find yourself losing more. It can also be a symptom illnesses. Once I started getting more sleep this year, I've been okay. Hope this helps and best of luck!

You have 2 options:
1. Home remedies : http://www.grannymed.com/meds/hair-loss.aspx
2. Cosmetic surgery : http://www.bestoflook.com/cosmetics/Hair-surgery.aspx
Example for home remedies you can try:
# emeni med: Soak fenugreek (Hilba) in deep pot of water throughout the night. Massage the liquid into the scalp and wrap with a cloth for 3 hours. Repeat everyday for 1 month.
# Massage the scalp with uncooked egg yolk, leave for 1 hour and wash.
# Smear Red Henna on the scalp and wait for 1 hour, then wash, Repeat for 10-14 days. Be ware- your hair will turn red from the henna!
# Smear castor oil on the scalp and the hair roots but not on the hair, wrap the hair with a newspaper, tie with a cloth and leave overnight, wash in the morning. Repeat every 7-10 days (results will come after 6-7 treatments).
Good luck
