A long, long time ago, about a year I guess, I noticed that when washing my hair LOTS and LOTS of hair came out. Not clumps, per say, just a lot of hair. I told my mom 'cause I was kind of worried, but she said it was nothing to worry about and went along with that.
I'm still losing a lot of hair, and have lost a lot. My junior year I had hair that fit a scrunchie with one loop--two was pushing it hard. Now I can wrap a scrunchie three times.
I hadn't actually thought about it until my cousin (shown in photo because her hair is beautiful. She's eleven, almost twelve, and has never had anything but SMALL trims.) came down this weekend. We went swimming, and took a shower afterwards to get the chlorine out. We were conditioning our hair, and I pulled my hand away, covered in hair as usual, to wipe the hair off and she looked mortified. "You lose a LOT of hair!" And I realized, yeah, I really do. She lost like...two hairs, for the record.
SO I was wondering...why is this? Is it because I'm a teenager and I have some weird horomone thing going on? Will my hair continue thinning? Will it thicken up again? Is there something I can do to help, or something that might be causing it? Is hair loss and stress closely related?

I was going to show her off regardless, and I'll get a question answered too! It's funny--she's absolutely BRUTAL to her hair, always has been. I wonder what it would be like if she was tender to it. lol
