Any of you girls lose a lot of hair in the shower?

Question

Everytime I am in the shower and I rinse my hair with conditioner, small clumps of it fall out in my hand. I know it's normal to shed, but I'm not sure if it is normal for so much to come out. I guess I don't brush my hair often though because it is wavy ...:/ Any input?

Okay, I think I over exaggerated when I said "clumps". What I mean is that when I run my fingers through while conditioning I gather a lot of strands in my hands. It's not clumps, just a bunch of strands from all over my head. Sorry about that :/

Answer 1

Yup. I don't brush my hair unless it gets super-snarly--once it's dry, I touch it as little as possible, and I remove all the dead hairs when I wash it.

As long as you always lose the same amount of hair, you're good to go. If you lose way more than normal, then you should go to the doctor--it could be hormones or some kind of deficiency or disease. If you brushed your hair a lot, the hair would come off on your brush. But don't brush your hair--frizz bomb! Just get a little drain cover thingie to catch the hairs (you don't want a clog) and don't fret! That'll make more hair fall out (ha-ha.) Seriously, I lose a ton of hair in the shower and I'm not bald yet, so don't worry.

If your hair is getting long and you don't brush it during the day, pretty much the only time your stray hairs are going to come out are in the shower. This may seem like alot but it could be normal. I've noticed alot more hair comed out int he shower lately but it's just that my hair is much longer now. A friend used to have this problem. she was stressed out a bit and her hair thinned quite a bit, but if she put her hnd through her hair when it was dry a good few strands were falling out then too. so if you don't then you're probably fine. Her hair stopped thinning a few months later and grew back just as thick. If you'r really worried ask a doctor. hard to know what you mean by alot here.

Happens to me all the time. I think all it is is just dead hair. As long as your keeping it the way it should be kept, there's not really anything you can do. Just try and only wash your hair with shampoo like 3 times a week, that might help. And before you brush your hair while it's wet, use Pantene light leave-in conditioner. It smells great and when you comb your hair while it's wet, start from the bottom and work your way up to the top. Good luck with your problem.

Answer 4

Don't worry. Large amounts of hair coming out like that is normal. I would only start to worry if you're seeing patches where there is less (or no) hair. As long as your head of hair is intact, there's nothing to worry about.

Answer 5

no clumps of hair don't fall out. talk to your parents about it because that's not normal.

Answer 6

well if there is a lot of chunks coming out you should definitly tell your doctor and see what they say but small strands thats fine and very normal ok so dont worry unless they are chunkies!

Answer 7

My mom had this problem one time you should get a different conditionair before all your hair comes out. It's problably an allergic reaction. Try Pantene?

Answer 8

if clumps are falling out its probably most likely not normal

Answer 9

You are probably under too much stress. That is one of the main reasons why people lose alot of hair.

Answer 10

my mom had that same problem when she was with her abusive physcho ex-boyfriend. as soon as they broke up her hair became normal again, long and thick. try to find out what you are so stressed out about and if you fix it your hair probably wont do that any more. you are definitely way too stressed. good luck
