I’m a 16 year old girl. And the medication I’m on (Methotrexate, for arthritis) is causing LOTS of hair loss for me. I have very thin hair. It’s not falling out in clumps, only strands. Anyways I’m curious on how much hair I would have to lose for it to become noticeable or be considered “balding”?
balding= big empty spot without hair, starting to bald.
bald= no hair.
They say you normally lose 100-200 hair a day, but I don’t. I lose about 7-8 every time I brush it, so that’s about 100 per week, give or take. I guess that must be normal~
Are you sure you’re not mixing other things to cause your hair to fall out in clumps? Ex:
Supplements, steroids, hereditary, hair dyes perming, straightening, diet, having babies (yes I read once it happened to her), stress, medications with testosterone, certain antidepressants, menopause, anti-acne, and too much of everything. Add to that the 7,000 + toxic found in your home, plus pollution found outdoors.
