Hi, I am a 16 year old male, and I know that I am not losing my hair. Anyway, my hair is around 2 inches long, and yesterday I was just going through my hair rubbing it with my hand flat across my head and alot of hair fell out in a short amount of time, and please do not tell me I am losing my hair because I am not, but anyway, now I am worrying that I should cut off all my hair now just because some of my hair fell out, and I want to grow my hair out, but I am worrying that just because some of my hair fell out that now I should cut it all off, but I don't want too though, I think it is more of an OCD thing, and then I worry about that I will not be able to grow my hair long because since it falls out, it will all fall out while I'm trying to grow my hair long, and the time it would be long, I will be bald since it falls out.
This is something I really worry about, please help.

My Bf has OCD and his problem is defiantly simmer reasons, he needs to keep his hair short for the fear is Will fall out also... your not balding...but if you think you have OCD you should go get diagnosed with it
do you have compulsive thoughts/behaviours
are you afraid of germs
do you need to have your room straight (all 90 degree angles)
do you have to do a ritual before you do and action (knocking on a desk before you can move your books etc.) If you get diagnosed the dr, will either give you anti depressants (that will get rid of the depression your ODC causes ) or seritionin stablizers.
all thats wrong when you have ocd is the messages in your brain get messed up, the transposter of the message gets confused half way there and turns the message into a panic message like for ex.
the picture it crooked
get turned into
OH GOD THE BLOOD PICTURE IS CROOKED
and you freak out ..
after a while it gets easlier to live with and nomally comes with puberty in some people
good luck

Don't worry about it. Everyone loses a lot of hair everyday. You start going bald when you stop generating new hair, but that really doesn't happen until you get older. It has to do with testosterone levels increasing as you get older, or it's just genetic.

Firstly relax and calm down!!!! If you get this stressed and agitated about other things in your life your hair could be falling out through worry. You worry too much sweetheart. If you are that worried go and see your doctor.
It could also be the time of year, I tend to loose more hair around this time of year.

Hair falls out all the time naturally...The OCD running your hand through probably doesn't help. Stress will cause it to fall out more.
Stay cool you'll be OK!

dont worry about it. Its just the dead ends coming out. when hair is long the sun damages it and it just falls out nothing to stress over

You ramble beautifully!! Don't worry!! It is normal for some hair to fall out when you rub your scalp.
Chow!!
