Shedding waaaaaay too much hair...

Post Reply New Topic

I mean, me! not my dog!

And I dont know what to do. I dont think it's natural for me to shed hair this much. Normally I shed most of my hair during and after I take a shower but I seem to shed tons of hair everyday. This is one of the many reasons why I can never live with other people (except my family) cause it pisses them off when I shed more hair than I can clean up.

And this isn't short hair either...this is long brown hair I shed so you can see it everywhere.

I'm worried. Help pwease?

P.S., no I dont have cancer...it's probably just a bad shampoo I'm using.

I have long hair and shed a lot, too. I never brush it or run my fingers through it unless I'm standing in front of the bathroom mirror, then sweep up what falls--that seems to cut down on it getting everywhere.

Do you also have oily skin and bad acne?

I shed so much my grandmother thinks I pull it out on purpose.

If you are a girl, it is most likely related to hormonal fluctuations (which can affect your skin as well). I shed a lot of hair too, particularly during my period (sorry if that is TMI). The only thing that has ever helped was pregnancy. I bearly even shedded a single hair for almost a year. I really do not recommend getting knocked up to keep the drain clear though !

Are you on any medications? I started losing a lot of my hair when I was on medication. I couldn't run my hands through my hair without pulling out tons of it and my floor had a lot of my hair on it. I think I was worse than a dog shedding hair. When I took a shower it took me 10 extra minutes of just standing there running my hands through my hair endlessly taking out more and more of it. I didn't get any bald spots though but I got off of it soon and it took awhile for it to stop shedding.

read about hypothyroidism, see if that fits.
