Answered:
Thats the exact thing that happens to me and am not bold yet, so i would say its normal but, i noticed that when i stop using conditioner the amount of hair loss lessened, but, even if your not using conditioner dont worry I have thick frizzy hair that never gets thinner, so baiscally yes, its normal for you to lose hair like that Hope I helped !

It could be stress that you're not really sure you have or it could just run in the family.Even if it's not your dad, maybe grandpa, cousins, uncles.It's no big deal but, you should get it checked out if you feel it's an un normal amount.But we all lose lots of hair everyday,I wouldn't worry too much.

It might have something to do with puberty creating too much testosterone which is badly metabolized by some people's bodies. I'm not an expert, but it may be worth talking to a doctor about it.

I think some men, if they have sufficient reason get progesterone treatment for a diagnosed problem with their testosterone levels. Since they give growth hormones to boys who are too short, I don't see why they wouldn't give them to you for baldness – if you're willing to take the other risks involved. It comes down to, what do you hate more, having baldness or the risks of taking a female hormone?

Another possibility is genetics. I'd investigate on whether one of your grand or great grand parents was bald.

One of my brothers lost his hair at that age.
You get it from your moms side of the family, if she has a bald brother then that's where you got the gene from.
Or you have been poisoned with something like cyanide, are your finger nail normal looking.
If not go to the hospital and get checked out, could be heavy metal poisoning too.

The average person sheds about 200 hairs daily. The longer your hair is, the easier it will be for you to notice when it falls out. The gene for male baldness is inherited from the mother through her father, regardless how thin her hair is. How is your grandfather's hair? However it isnt all up to genetics, some people just have it way worse than others.

Most people have hair loss because of stress or their family has hair loss problem. But you said you don't have those reasons. So its hard to tell why your having hair loss. Try oil.it actually makes your hair stronger, soft and healthy.it strengthens your hair root. Put oil(i prefer vatica oil)the night before you shampoo. Let it stay the whole night,then the next day shampo your hair.trust me your hair will be more healthy and soft and shiny. I personaly don't experience hair fall because I use oil method.do try it. Hope I helped. I helped.

The younger you are the better hair loss meds work.
You are seventeen so if I were you I would find a doctor who is well versed about hair loss (not one who is clueless)
Have him examine you and make the appropriate diagnoses.

Propecia helps slow down or halt hair loss and in some cases can induce re-growth.

Minoxidil is a growth stimulant.
Most hair doctors will recommend Propecia first and Minoxidil later.
both medications have the possibility of causing a shedding period.
It is important to talk to a good doctor before starting any regime.
In addition to being familiar with the medications they can help you track your progress.
I hope this helps.
