Question

I use hair conditioner everytime i wash my hair and i like to use a lot of it. well just enough for me that i can run my hair throught it very easily. is this bad for my hair. i try to wash my hair every other day but then sometimes i forget and wash it daily. I'm worried about this because my hair falls out alot. when i shower when i brush and when i style. is it normal for hair to fall out so much and so often? or am i just using too much conditioner. i use Herbal Essence

Answer 1

Using conditioner everyday is not a bad thing, nor not washing your hair each is not bad either. In matter of fact that is good in most case, your hair will build up it's own natural oils and keep it in a more healthy state and even give it more of shine as you do it more often. Washing your hair each day, does wash out the natrual oils and this is the reasoning behind a conditioner each day. Also try washing your hair and use less conditioner, just enough to get it detangle and then towel dry and try a small amount in the palm of your hand like hand creaming, then apply to he ends...

NOW FOR THE HAIR LOSS, that can be poor nutition or another type of health problem. Then it may just be a form of shedding, does this happen in sperts or is this a everyday thing for more than a few weeks? Sometimes stress can bring on hair loss, too. This is something that should be brought up with your doctor...even ask your hair stylist if they have noticed a change; like your hair is thinning more so now than before. If you show no signs of your hair thinning, it may just be simply a simple case of human shedding.

No I wouldnt say that its bad. I use it too, my hair is kinda frizzy and what I do is I apply the conditioner only to my ends so it could eaze the frizz. I also wash my hair every other day and so far I havnt seen anything go wrong using hair conditioner often. My hair also falls out like you mentioned which is ok because the average amount of hair that falls out on an average person is like around 60 strands or something. So I would say no worries.

I use Herbal Essences too, and I get the moisturizing kind, Soak it to Me, and my hair falls out a lot too! like everytime i comb it, i can run my hands through it and a ton of hair comes out! I've had this problem for a while, even before I used Herbal Essences, but i've heard that conditioner can weigh your hair down a lot. i also got my hair trimmed and it doesn't fall out quite as much, but it hasn't stopped.

Answer 4

To much conditioner makes your hair greasy. Your hair falling out has nothing to do with the conditioner but if a lot of hair is falling out you may have this problem I read about but i can't remember the name so ask you doctor.

Answer 5

Professional products are best but conditioner really shouldn't make your hair fall out. It is normal for hair to fall out. Each person looses a certain number of hairs each day. As long as it's not looking thin you really shouldn't worry.

Answer 6

Check with your doctor about too much hair loss, you might have something going on you don't know about. If you are using some god-awful amount of conditioner that you are making your hair so oily to clog the hair follicle it could make the hair root die and fall out.

Answer 7

i havent heard of conditioner making your hair fall out but too much, especially over time, causes buildup and makes your hair very limp. even if it says volumizing..your hair wont have body after awhile...sometimes go without the conditioner...it will make your hair better.

as for it falling out...its ok. if it becomes prominent and your hair begins to thin..seek a doctor, and bring all your hair products with you, you may have an allergy

Answer 8

Do you have blonde hair? Blondes generally have more hair follicles. My hair is ALWAYS falling out! It's summertime, so i tmakes sense that you are shedding more than usual. I also use a ton of conditioner. It's not bad for you. Don't worry!

Answer 9

i loose hella hair every day too, i wash my hair every day and i condition alot as well, my thinking is that the more conditioner the less tangled, the less stressed your hair is and wont fall out as much..i use Pantene

Answer 10

Hair conditioner usually becomes useless after awhile...The hair can only absorb so much.

If your hair is falling out, see a physician.
