This happened to me in my early 20's too.

In my early 20's during a stressful time I went through a spell of hair loss that was very scarry to me. I think the stress I was under had a lot to do with it and I think that maybe some sort of life cycle change at that age plays a part too. Though very alarming, it does stop and your hair grows back and even though you see the hair coming out, it is probably not noticeable to others.

Unless you are losing hair in one specific spot and there is a bald patch there (alopecia), I think you can just count on it stopping. Eat well, continue to run, take your vitamins so that you are getting enough protien and nutrition to support healthy skin, hair and nails and you'll be fine. Also, try not to focus on it because stress causes us to tighten up - including our skin and scalp which squeezes the hair shaft and can assist with hair falling out.

I am sure you'll be just fine.

Sincerely,

Rebecca
