Am I Starting To Go Bald Or Is My Hair 'healing'

[sickmade]

Hi guys, I'm 15 years old and have no family history of balding.

I recently stopped using a shampoo which caused me to have dry, damaged hair and since then have been using one to stop hair breakage and strengthen hair, and a conditioner. I have also been using coconut oil since changing shampoo. after leaving coconut oil in overnight, i found my hair was falling at alarming rates. After cigorously running my hair through my fingers, i found about 30 hairs in front of me. Of course, i was very alarmed after seeing this and my sister told me that it is a good thing as my damaged hair is being replaced with healthy hair. Is this true?

I would appreciate any help.

If you have no family history of balding and you are 15 there is a 99% chance your hair will grow back, count yourself lucky.. i started balding for real at 14 im 20 now.

Thanks for the reply and sorry to hear. Do you know whether what my sister said about my weak hair being replaced with strong hair is true or not?

@sickmade im not sure about that, but your hair should regrow as it was before with no problems.

Impossible to be sure without pics.

Doesn't sound like it, though.

Shedding of up to 100 — even more, depending on the individual — hair per day is considered normal.

Try stopping the coconut oil for a while, though.
