Too much hair coming out after brushing

When I brush my hair (usually when I just come out of the shower) I lose what I think to by wayyy to much hair. I'm a guy with long hair and the females in my family don't seem to lose much at all. When I am done with a comb its just coated in hair. Could this just be my type of hair? is it unhealthy? whats wrong, and how can I fix it? thanks

I tried brushing after it dried and it made no difference. I am just losing a ton of hair if a leave it for a week without brushing I lose way to much hair as well. Any ideas?

I am sure its too much because the comb is basically engulfed in hair. I usually where a ponytail and the hairs that come out at the end of the day from the hair tie are very few.

Definitely not male baldness, not only because its not a gene on my moms side, but because I am only 18.

My hair is naturally frizzy and a bit curly... it seems my hair is very knotty... like when I get up in the morning and brush it, the brush doesn't slide through I have to spend a long time on it.

i am a guy and i used to have that same problem as well
it really started to make me depressed cuz i love my hair i dont want to be bald

i started to freak out alot, and my parents would tell me its natural,  but my bathtub would be full of hair after i took a shower and i would brush out alot, it was everywhere really

then i started taking men's formula multi vitamins, because my diet is not good (im a really picky eater lol)  and i noticed over time that i stoped losing as much hair, i also used to use the same shampoo for like 5yrs or longer,  so i started switching them up every month or so, i hear its good for the hair and scalp to do that,  conditioner helps too,  i use conditioner like every 2 or 3 days  

now my hair is not falling out nearly as much,  it still does a little but im not longer worried about goin bald

also (this is my first day here) but from what ive read so far, apparently diet and lifestyle affects your hair health,  which would make sense, and ppl are sayin to only shampoo every few days or so, which ima have to work on, cuz i shampoo every day

so  i suggest looking at your diet / eating habits,  maybe start taking multi-vitamins,  they make me feel better overall, cuz i lose out on alot of stuff i need from the junk i eat
and look into the shampoos your using n whatnot

my hair is doin fine now,  all my friends are jealous of it

I have the same problem, i'm 21, white guy, and alot of hair comes out when I brush it, I am growing it out long but I have really dry and dead roots and the hair looks thin and weak when I look at the hairs that come out, how do I cure this problem>??
