Regular heavy hair fall is my problem in my life.i am just 17 years old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair loss: It is normal to loss up to 150 hairs a day. If you have not noticed thinning of your hair it is most likely normal. Certain medical conditions and can lead to hair loss but it is not likely to cause " life long" hair loss unless you have also noted abnormal texture to your hair.
