What to do with hair loss Baldness or hair loss is usually something only adults need to worry about. But in a few cases, teens lose their hair, too—and it may be a sign that something’s going on. Our hair is made of a type of protein called keratin（角蛋白）. A single hair consists of a hair shaft, a root below the skin, and a follicle, from which the hair root grows. At the lower end of the follicle is the hair bulb, where the hair’s colour pigment （色素） is produced. Most people lose about 50 to 100 head hairs a day. These hairs are replaced —they grow back in the same follicles on their heads. This amount of hair loss is totally normal, so you don’t need to worry about it. If you’re losing more than that, though, something might be wrong. Losing hair can be stressful during a time when you’re already concerned about appearance. Most of the time, hair loss during the teen years is temporary （临时的）. With temporary hair loss, the hair usually grows back after the problem that causes it is corrected. If you have hair loss and don’t know what’s causing it, talk to your doctor. A doctor can determine why the hair is falling out and suggest a treatment that will correct the problem, if necessary.
