I'm not bald.
A stupid amount of my hair just falls out... and don't even get me started on how much falls out in the shower! fuck.
I must have awful hair!
Anyone else have this issue? Any solutuions? Aside from shaving it all off! |

I moult LOADS and I convince myself every so often that I'm going bald but my hair is still as thick as ever. I've got in the habit of brushing through my hair thoroughly before washing it so not quite so much goes down the plug hole, and I don't really brush it between washes, just when I'm drying/curling/straightening it. |

The average amount of hair loss per day is over 100 hairs ... And that's across the board with men and women it's just usually more noticeable in women with long hair. Once your hair isn't "thinning" then it's just your hair going through its natural cycle and is a healthy sign as for each hair that falls out a new one replaces it. |

I swear my cat used to sick up hairballs made of my hair not hers; I moult so much. It's just really thick. I thought cutting it shorter might help but it just looks wider and still sheds as much. |

I have androgenetic alopecia from having pcos.
I didn't realise it was so bad till a hairdresser (Not a friend) pointed it out.. I didn't often look at the back of my head.
I was inconsolable 
It's an awful thing for a woman to lose her hair. I had long shiny dark brown hair before. And I had it all cut off and started wearing wigs and hats. Now I just dye it blonde.. less of a contrast between hair and scalp.
It's still not better after almost 2 years of androgen blockers.. I think it's gone too far. 
Anyone struggling is welcome to pm me.. if you can't.. post here and I'll message you.
Hugs. |

I've come to the conclusion it's because of having thick hair. My hair was always really bad for this but when I got it thinned out a bit (so it's not quite so witchy looking) it's nowhere near as bad.
My thyriod is fine too.

I have PCOS and under active thyroid and I didn't know hair loss was a symptom of either Luckily I still seem to have a lot of it. |

Do you have ovaries with cysts or the whole syndrome? Might be worth checking your testosterone.. if it's high then do what you can to lower it before it affects you. I've had it for about 25 years and it only affected me about 5 years ago. My testosterone was very very high for a woman.  |

I might start brushing it before I wash it! |

"Yes... stick it to the wall in the shower so that you don't have to fish it out the crack of your arse or the plughole! "
Butt hair! I might start wearing one of them child shower hats that keep the water out of their eyes as a tutu to keep it out of my bum crack!
I find it's easier to clean up if it's all in the plug hole |

I just can't do it... makes me boak pulling it out of the plughole. It's much easier to wipe it off the wall with a piece of loo roll.
This is why I'll never shag a man with long hair... I know how much of mine ends up in my crack... the thought of that on a bloke is far from sexy! 
Double standards much?! |

"I have had that problem in the past and it still happens to a certain extent...
it calmed down when I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid "
I'm shit with medication.. I keep forgetting to take mine because it doesn't make me feel any different.. Maybe it'll help with the hair loss if I take the meds! |

Me too but I still have to clear the trap(s). "

All I'll say is check the side effects.. for those with pcos may not want to add to another problem... but which is a lesser of two evils? |

Shouldn't be any side effects. If you read some of the reviews for Alpecin, some get a tingling sensation on the scalp, and some seem to lose hair initially but that then reduces to very few. However, it doesn't work for everyone. There is also Plantur which seems to be a female equivalent.  |

It is bloody natural, everyone loses lots and lots of hair. It is not a problem and lets not go freaking people out, goodness me. |

I have masses of hairloss, but it isnt noticable as i have extremely thick curly hair.
As said previously, could be a number of things.
Thyroid, pcos, or even down to medication, if you are taking any!!
May want to see your GP

It could also just be that you are normal and overreacting to normality. God forbid |

Get yourself a dosset box and put it by your bed hopefully that will help you to remember to take them |

Chemical processing and styling can play a role in hair loss. Sodium lauryl sulfate / ammonium lauryl Sulfate (common detergents that are present in almost all shampoo) are very harsh on the scalp and hair fibre but when combined with permanent dye chemicals and styling routines (blow dry, straightening irons) it can lead to increased loss. Hormonal Birth control can also play a role.
Chances are you're probably fine and your hair being very long ; the strands you're noticing being shed are probably old ones and in proportion .
Dietary steps such as essential fatty acids, b vitamin rich foodstuffs, zinc can all improve growth and overall health, apparently .
If you're worried you're shedding and unusual amount you should consult your GP and have a general once over.
Good luck. |

Shit memory?.. a symptom of Hypothyroidism... read up some more on the illness,, you will be surprised how many things it effects.
Take the tabs,, you'll start to feel better and fingers crossed your other conditions might improve too. Like someone said get a pill box. Get Christos to even do it for you |

That is fine, it is the overwrought "you have two weeks left, go see your priest" responses which need a little more thought. |
