When we lose hair?

Question

Do we lose hair at certain times of the year in the same way that we shed skin?

I've noticed quite a few hairs on my pillow recently and now I'm wondering if it is a seasonal thing or the beginning of the end of that great full head of hair!!!

Answer 1

we are losing skin all the time and some of the hair folicules in yr head only last about 6months b4 they r renewed hence as u get older yr body cant replace the folicules and you end up going bald. stress and poor diet can also be a contributing factor for this problem. hope this helps

Answer 2

We each lose, on avaerage, a hundred hairs a day. If you don't brush or comb your hair regularly, then these hairs may not all come out gradually, but appear to come out in clumps, such as when you are rubbing your head against the pillow when sleeping, or when you wash your hair. They are certain times, though, when you appear to lose more. When pregnant, the rate of hair loss slows down dramatically, so after pregnancy it appears to be quite heavy hair loss, but it isn't really.

Answer 3

It is normal for your hair to fall out that much. You loose about hundred hair a day and it is not seosonal. If you are really worried about it, you can go see you hairdresser and ask for some advice.

Answer 4

I lost a few after I had a baby? Have you done that? if you are a man then I'm guessing no...but wouldn't it be thicker in the winter cos we need it more then.
