    It's normal to lose a certain amount of hair every day. 25+ doesn't seem too many.

    I used to loose about 50-150 a day between the ages of 16-21, but it has slowed recently to about 10-20 a day. It's thinner than it was, but then again it used to be like the amazon. Most of this falling out is due to my hair's considerable length and weight (down to upper thighs when it's wet) though, and not because I'm going bald. I hope. I've never seen my biological father, but if I wanted to, it would be to check his head for baldness.

    The gene responsible for hairloss comes from the mothers side of the family, I think.
    Not many, not something I'm looking out for or anything either though as I'm only 20.
