i think people exaturate how much hair they lose perday. I counted each and every individual hair that i lost methodicly for a few months. I would wash my hair IN THE SINK with the water stopper so i could grab out each hair fromt he water and rest it on a white tissue. I think the most i lost was 150. Had i not counted each individual hair that came out during the washes that day and night i would have thought that i was losing 500+ a day. Its an illusion. Your not really losing 1k hairs a day.
