How much hair shedding is normal for girls with long hair?

Question

is it true they shed more hair after having a baby? cuz before i got prego i shedded a lil bit of hair every time i washed it or brushed it. then when i was prego i didnt shed any hair at all, now after the baby im shedding like crazy!!!!!! also when i had to cut my hair really short for bootcamp i didnt shed hair again until it got shoulder length. what up with the hair shedding??????

Answer 1

I lose hand fulls of hair when i wash and comb my hair wet. Apparently we lose 250 plus hairs a day, so if you have curly hair or your hair is usually tied up, your hair isint shedding the hair, its all caught up in it, until u wash/brush it.

Answer 2

It is normal to "shed" or lose hair. The reason there is less when it is short is that when it's long brushing or combing tends to "pull" out hair that wouldn't normally fall out. So if you want to have less hair loss, then keep it short and use a liquid detangler.

Answer 3

u r supost to losse 100 hairs a day... when u r pregnant u wont loose hair because all your nutriants are going to the baby your body knows it cant produce more hair with the lak of nutriants but after u have the baby all the old hair that didnt fall out will in the next couple of washes

Yes you shed more, your hormons are getting back to normal, if you feel like it it WAY to much talk to your doctor to get your thyroid checked. But don't worry its normal.
