How do i identify hairloss?

Hello im a guy 17 turning 18 very soon and recently in the past few weeks i feel as though im losing more hair than i typically am, however i could have just been previously oblivious to my hairloss.

I have no stress in my life, i do good in school, little responsibility, etc etc. HOWEVER my brother who is 19 had fairly bad hairloss recently and he managed to recover it.

My hair stylist always says my hair is super thick and ill never lose it but im starting to think otherwise. When I shampoo my hair i notice an immense amount of hair in my hands but im having a hard time figuring out if that due to hairloss or because i wash my hair once every 3 days. Through some research ive learned to check my pillow (typically has no hair) and to check my towel after drying my hair (typically has quite a bit).

tldr: im just trying to get some input on some good ways to identify hair loss. (without going to a dermatologist)
