I'm a 26 yo male...I don't know what's going on with me...but I noticed about 2 weeks ago while i was washing my hair that there was a good amount of hair in my hands...I've been using the same shampoo for 3 years..nothing has changed...I HAVE been very stressed out lately...Is it normal to lose some hair while shampooing...I cut my hair cut about 8 weeks ago and i'm thinking the way my stylist cut it might have something to do with it, too...and help greatly appreciated...

Stress can cause hair loss, I would suggest seeing your family doc and have him run a blood test ---just in case your hormone levels are out of wack (they are the first to suffer when your body is under undo stress and you are vitamin deficient).......it's not permanent, once the problem is corrected your hair will come back........it could also be your thyroid.....and again, a simple blood test will check it out, especially if you're also feeling very tired..........good luck to you..........please see a doc....most people laugh off little signals your body gives you....your hair loss was a good pick up by you now see a doc to make sure it's nothing else going on and he can help you find a stress reliever...like Xanax

Stress often causes a lot of hair loss. The cut you got 8 weeks ago is definitely not what caused this, it's physically not possible. Have you bleached your hair recently? Or chemically straightened or permed it? If your hair is overly damaged it could cause breakage. Otherwise, I hate to say it, but you might just be going bald, it definitely happens to men as young as 20.

Stress definately causes hair loss. When I was about 11 I got a bald patch the size of a quarter and my dermatoligist said it was due to stress. (Geesh what kind of 11 year old goes through that much streess right?) Well, that's what he and my doctor said. He perscribed a cream toput on my scalp and told me to relax. My hair grew back within no time. Plus it's around autumn and people tend to shed around this time of year. I know it sounds kinda like for an animal, but it's true for us humans 2. LOL
So go to a dermatologist and have them check you out.
Good luck!:)

Probably because your stressed out. I've heard that stressing out too much causes you to loose your hair.
It may possibly be your stylist, may not, but it's easier for you to judge it because YOU have the hair, not me.
But I doubt this one:
Maybe your stylist cut your hair, and still left some loose ones, and they are all falling out. Like I said, I doubt it. My little brother just demanded me to put it up.
Having cancer also causes you to loose hair, but don't get too worried. I doubt you have it.
But what I think, is because you are stressing out. Try and relax, let everything flow and maybe it would stop.

Some males lose hair earlier than others
like my cousin he's 27 and he lost a lot of hair too i mean hes not like bald or anything but it deffinately thinned out. I wouldnt be too worried but if it falls out for more than like 1 year i would see a doctor

First read the shampoo bottle and see if there are any sieffects then ask your hair stylist about what he did to your hair and see if that has anything to do with it. Then see a doctor

Oh my gosh, I'm a 21 year old girl and the same thing is happening to me. I wash my hair and it just comes out. I've been really stressed to. Maybe thats it. I hope so for the both of us.

If your hairdresser thinned it outr (she took jagged scissors and cut near the roots) then it is definately normal. I have to get my hair thinned out and I pretty much shed. A lot of times when people are stressed out, they tend to get gray hair or loss of hair. This also might be your case.

I would be very careful with any advice i got. There's a lot of snake oil out there. I'd recommend making an appointment with your Doctor as soon as possible.

Stress can cause hairloss.
I was super stressed and noticed I had thinned out patches.
It's growing back though.
Try to relax. It will probably grow back.
