Yo!
I'm 28 and have had long hair of and on my whole life. Right now I got about a yr of growth at 7 inches. I have 2 cowlicks in the back of my head (on the crown of my head). I didn't know I had these when my hair was shorter-but when it's long it looks thinner where the cowlicks are (they're circular and they touch each other...looks like a big bald spot). In fact after having my hair long for years I shaved it all off cuz I thought the damaged hair that was falling out was the start of baldness-people sed I had a bald spot. Thing is, when I cut it short the bald spot went away. Now I have it long again and it looks like I'm goin bald. I looked at baby pics to be sure the cowlicks were always there and they were.
I have also noticed that my hair does grow slower around these cowlicks and makes it look thinner too. When I put on a bandana (folded up), hair sticks out where the cowlicks are.
You may be goin bald, and maybe not. The hairs comin out might just be damaged hairs. Try cold water washes for a couple weeks and see if the hair stops comin out...also, don't blow dry your hair or do anything that would stop it from looking natural-that just puts added stress on your hair.
Hasta.
