When i take a shower i loose about 20 hairs and maybe 100 total through(an estimate). And im a teenager.
Does this hair that falls out on a regular basic grow back, or will i just grow bald? Also, if my moms side of the family has no one who is bald, then do you think i will?

Don't worry you're in the normal range:"Most people lose about 50 to 100 head hairs a day. These hairs are replaced — they grow back in the same follicle on your head. This amount of hair loss is totally normal and no cause for worry. If you're losing more than that, though, something may be wrong. The medical term for hair loss — losing enough hair that a person has visibly thin or balding patches — is alopecia."
