How Much Hair Loss is OK?

Saturday October 20, 2007
One of the most frequently asked questions is this one. Find out how much hair loss is OK and also which months people lose the most hair (hint, hint: this month, you may notice you're losing some of your hair).

Ever since I quit cutting my hair, and my hair has gotten really long, all my hair loss is visible. When I detangle it, like watching TV on a couch, or when brushing it, any hair that comes out I gather up and put in a plastic bag.

It’s half-full now, barely a year, and my hair is still thick and lustrous. It’s so badass!!! Imma make a pillow outta it like that werewolf girl Frasier dated.

The link to the FAQ doesn’t seem to be working right. There’s nothing but a brief summary there.

Great article. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with breast cancer (she’s just a baby too!), and it’s dreadful. She’s doing well now. I’m so proud of her!

I have been lsoing hair on a regular basis for years now. I know some of it has to do with a lack of vitamins and supplemnts. A Chiropractor/Herbal I see had it under control, but I haven’t seen him in 3 months. Can’t wait to go back for osme help. I will be back with advice!
