Maybe: There are natural cycles of hair loss and it can also be caused by stress and hormone/mineral imbalance. When you brush your hair, if large clumps of hair come out, i would rec seeing a specialist.

Alopecia?: There is a condition called alopecia which causes the hair to fall out. This is different from male pattern baldness which is genetic and not a disorder. It can be in patches or the entire body. A dermatologist can tell you if you have alopecia (an autoimmune disorder) and treat it. Peace and good health.
