Anyone quickly losing hair without excessive shedding?

[tomas99]

I just wondered if there is anyone who is quickly losing hair but is not shedding (very little or no at all like one hair when washing etc.)

I know how hair is lost (miniaturization), but from this forum it seems that many of users are shedding pretty much, or simply shedding more than before.

...or they get paranoid, checking the mirror 50 times every day and counting hairs in the bath tub, sink, pillows etc

shed hairs are not lost hairs btw! Someone might shed 50 hairs every day and only the 35 are growing back. Somebody else sheds 150 and 140 regrows, who is balding faster?

tomas, I thought you are experiencing a lot of regrowth lately.

How did you figure this out?

I think shedding only incates something when it either starts suddenly or stops suddenly.

Something to consider is that when I was a kid/teenager with kick-*** hair, I always shed a lot. However, when male pattern baldness hit, I never noticed any shedding at all. In other words, the shedding actually slowed drastically - problem was that I wasn't growing back the little hair that did fall. Thiis may seem counterintuitive, but I think the shedding slowed b/c my hair cycles were slowing (due to the onslaught of male pattern baldness).

Now, I only go through sheds in response to either starting or stopping working treatments.

Hope this "sheds" a little light on the subject!
