But I hadnt washed it in a few days, I was being kind of lazy this week. Do you think that it was already loose hair that just sorta got stuck in my head of hair from days before and was washed out, or do you think that it is cause for concern? It only really began to come out when wet so It concerns me. Any tips to avoid hair loss? Diet, Sleep, washing, not washing and leaving products in too long, etc?
It’s normal to loss up to 100 hairs a day, so if you didn’t shower for a few days it’s simply the hair you lost prior which hasn’t been washed out yet. Also as your hair gets long it will appear as though you are losing more than you should, I recommend you not worry about hair that’s being shed until you start to notice thinning areas or bald spots.
CrackEdd's right, even with brushing not all of your shed hairs will actually drop from your hair, so you end up with a collection of loose hairs. When you come to wash your hair it all comes out in one go and it looks like your losing a lot of hair. It happened o me today. So, try not to worry, a there is probably nothing wrong at all.

Number of hairs lost per day = N
Number of days between wash = D
Total hair lost during wash is approximately = N*D
as D increases you see more hairs during shower
