It is normal for a certain amount to fall out everytime you shower and during hot weather it can happen in larger amounts, but you really should go see your doctor. You should have a blood test to test your thyroid levels or see if you're anemic and you should examine your head for bald spots or all over thinness and balding in case of alopecia or alopecia areata. A thyroid problem could cause hair loss, but not necessarily. It can be cause by any number of things, so if you are truly concerned, your best bet is to get to your regular physician for the blood test but if you suspect any form of alopecia you'll need to see a dermatologist. Also, try not to freak out unless you know it's really something to freak out about. The stress could cause more hair loss. Just talk to your parents and go see your doctor. That's the best thing you can do to put your mind at ease.
Good luck!

You should go to the doctor about it. There could be something wrong with you. Being a 15 year old girl with your hair falling out isn't natural! Or the reason could be that your mistreating your hair. Have you used any new products lately? You may be allergic if you have. But if you haven't go to the doctor as soon as possible!

My daughter is 17 and she is losing her hair too. Go to the doctor. He will run hormone tests and a thyroid test. The doctor did not find anything wrong with my daughter and her hair is falling out again.
Avoid Suave shampoo. I've heard that suave can cause some people to lose their hair. Get a gentle shampoo and don't blow dry your hair. Take vitamin B complex. That is supposed to help your hair grow.

Go to the Doctor, ...Book an appointment TODAY
The doctor will probably ask some test, and then give you the right treatment.
Feel free to ask all the questions about the treatment he order you to follow, you have to be aware that any treatment has contraindications and see if you're willing to pay the cost (I'm not talking about money).
If that doesn't work, as a last resource, there's thousands of cosmetic solutions for that (wigs and stuff).
I wish you the best

start out with an iron pill once a day.....one pill should be 100% of you recommended dose. also, you lose aboput 100 -200 hairs per day and if your hair is pulled up or curly, when you get in the shower is the only chance it has to shed. after a week of the iron pills you should notice a difference!

Well when i was around your age i felt like i had got cancer because my hair was falling out to a point where it got my parents attention, and my parents don't really care if something like that were to happen but it got so bad you couldn't bare but think i had cancer, i got a check up a while after, and i don't have anything. Seems like what i had was nothing its just i was stressing way to much and my hair was falling because of it. Check yourself no matter what but it could be that, but don't wait with this, go to your nearest doctor and get checked.

ok sweetie- it's normal for hair to fall out in clumps sometimes.. either u are using a lot of gel or mousse that contains a high level of alcohol in them and that causes ur hair to break off and or fall out.
take vitamin B12 for healthy hair growth.
if u hair is falling out to the point where it's a big concern, go see a dermatologist to determine what's causing ur hair to fall out.
