I didn't pay attention to my hair lose until a couple nights ago. i was washing my hair in the shower and a little bunch of hair just slide right off. I think this is unnormal for an 18 year old.

Go see your GP or ob/gyn. Make sure there's not a physical cause for your hair loss. A lot of hormone imbalances in women can cause hair loss. Certain medications, poor diet and stress can also all cause hair loss.

There are several over the counter products to treat hair loss. Rogaine is said to be of benefit. There are also several other options avaliable by prescriptions.

Please, don't just treat the hair loss. Find out if there's a physical cause first.

My husband started going bald when he was 17. He went through years and years of stress ( doesn't help) because he was so paranoid about it and he had every hair style under the sun to try and disguise it. The best thing he did about 8 years ago was shave his head. It was the best thing he ever did about it. This just happens to some guys. It's not the end of the world although at 18 I'm sure it feels like it is. Honestly - SHAVE IT! It will save you years and years of paranoia and hysteria!!
