How many hairs do you lose in the shower?

Regardless, if you're seeing your hair while you shampoo, while you work at your desk, or on the top of your bed pillow, I'm sorry to say but you're losing your hair. It's the first sign and it will never go away.

I can honestly say that while I was having great success on AvoDart that I would never notice more than two or three hairs on my hands after showering. And I could comb my hair without seeing any hairs fall into the sink. Now after six years on AvoDart I can see that the shedding/hair loss is coming back; it's a dagger because I had really enjoyed not worrying about hair loss for so long.

It's funny though, i guess many people here think the nr. of hairs they find on they're hands is the no. of hairs they lose in total. LOL.

There's no way you can guess how many someone's losing in the shower.

btw, @all those people saying "having 10-20 hairs in your hands is absolutely normal after shampooing, non-male pattern baldness sufferers lose 100 hairs per day as well".

Well, if i shampoo the back of my head, i hardly find any hair. Don't want to talk about shampooing the top lol

Now that im constantly using nizoral every 3 days or so i only see about a dozen. In the past i only washed my hair once a week and it scared the bollocks out of me, my hands were just covered in hairs all from my temple regions are frontal hairline.

Heard a story once that a fella my mate knows (old now) was told he is going bald at a young age. So he didnt shower his hair for years... Still has a good head of hair now im told..

Is it real that you loose more hair if you only wash your hair once a week?
I think and believe is that you loose lesser hair when washing it 3 times a week but overal it is more than once a week.
For example:
3 times a week
1e time: 150 hairs
2end time: 150 hairs
3e time: 150 hairs

Only 1 time a week: about 300 hairs (still lesser than 3 time 450)

You say that you loose only a dozen while washing your hair 3 times a week, how is it possible why you shed a lot of hairs only when you wash your hair once a week!?

I don't know why i lose less in the shower than i use to, could be because i use nizoral now, the fact that i dont use products (gel) in my hair anymore.

One thing that makes me feel better is that I lose hair from ALL OVER - the back, sides, crown, etc. I just pulled the very back of my hair and got 4 hairs. And that was a pretty small area I pulled. If I grab a large area I can get 10+. And that's from male pattern baldness resistant areas.

What's the lenght of ur hair? When I had shorter hair I wouldn't lose 1 and still receded hairline lol

As for me it comes and goes. Losing less than 50 hairs washing it would be a mind blowing absurd level of success to me, I lose more, a lot more, also my hair remains weakened for a few days and keep shedding more than usual... it's all dried and breakable... my hair lenght is between 4 and 6 inches I believe, and it gets tangled easy.
Makes Sense because you are only on vitamins lol. My hair was the same length before and after starting treatments. Its currently 5 to 6cm.

Use a hair catcher in the shower drain man. Either way derms say u lose 50-100 a day. I am simply interested in comparing hair shed numbers. If it has worked for u, more power to u.
