Why do i keep losing my hair?

I'm 18 years old and i decided to let my hair grow out long so i can donate it to locks for love. I know i'm still in puberty because everyday (as of recently) the hair on my leg has been getting sparser, and i don't even have facial hair except the fine fair on my chin. My hair has been coming out like crazy now, i usually maintain it at 2 inches max with a 1 one the sides like a buzz cuts cept longer hair on top, but now my hair is at about 5 or 6 inches now. In my tub hair is starting to clog the drain. My hair is still thick i think; my dad still has his hair at 50. My mom's brotehrs and father still have their hair. (FYI- it is a myth that you inherit your mom's hair gene). Is the reason for my recent hair falling out because it is getting longer?
