Hi, I have recently noticed that I am loosing a lot of hair. I wake up and my bed has more and more hairs on it. I run my hand through my hair and see 5-6 hairs fall to the ground. I really want this to be shedding, because I am a 19 year old college student. Of course my mom's dad is bald as anything so I was pretty sure I was doomed from the beginning, I just didnt think it would be this early in life. My scalp does itch a lot more now especially around the typical bald spot. Everyone usally complements me on my thick red hair, but im getting worried that it might not be thick much longer. I have noticed this for about 2 and a half weeks so im praying its just temporary. If anyone has any suggestions or advice please share. Thanks in advance guys!

Well, if you feel the need to do something:

Borrow a good digital camera. Take a dozen pictures of your head from different angles. Store pics in a safe place. Carry on with life for 6 months!
