hi , I'm 21 years old and I loss about 40 hairs a day when I wash my hair , is this normal , and how did you first notice your hair loss ??

The average person loses about 100 - 150 hairs a day. That is normal. Anything less is probably OK. It is good to pay attention but hair falling is usually cyclical as well. As long as you don`t go past the 100-150 a day you are probably fine.

Hope that helps.

Dear hairdresser in mississippi. I have suffered hair loss since november of 2000. My hair loss has slowed down but I was used to getting perms every 4months. The last time i had a perm was sept 28,2000. Last time I had a color was 3 years ago. I have fine thin limp hair. i was wondering if it was safe to color now for a lift or for body.

let me just say this! you can lose up 100 stands
a day if it is long, and actually it`s suppose to be breakage NOT ROOTS.
u should not seen your hair coming out by the root.
if you see your hair coming out the the roots then
you are having some type of hair loss problem.
you should see a doctor as soons as you can,
because after one year the hair may not grow
back. here is what you should do, buy some fish
oil(which helps out alot), excercise, drink plendy
of water, and get the sleep you need. what i do is
take st. john`s wort because if u are losing your hair
from stress a ST. johns wort will help out alot, it keeps you from geting stress out and stop your stress from killing your hair.
good luck!
