"its Normal To Lose 50-100 And Some Times 100 Hairs A Day"

[equel]

Ive read this many times, and first I thought it was complete bullshit but when I started to take notice of a girl Im dating and her hair shedding .. maybe there is some truth to it, but men - who usually have short hair - seldom notice it with themselves?

I mean, I see her hair everywhere, in the sink, on he toilet, on the kitchen table etc etc ... today she showed me a normal "shed" for her after 3 days of no shower and it was a BIG amount of hair.

Yet her hair is completely fine and have been so all her life.

Do u think its true we actually shed around 50-100 hairs a day?

Yeah when I had long hair I would occasionally find dusty bunny like sheds of it in my room. I never remembered "shedding" it like it coming out in my hands but I guessed it shed over the course of the day so I didn't notice it. Now that it is cut short I don't really notice my sheds but I am sure they still happen. My non-balding sister also leaves a lot of hair every time she washes it.

I believe it's true alright, I'm not really one to watch for hairs falling as such. I've seen people panic when they notice 20 hairs in the drain after washing...

its definitely true we lose a number of hairs a day, the way our hair grows it has to be. What I never understood is people who come on here and say "lately I have been losing x amount of hair a day". Oh really? So you were able to count every single hair that left ur head that day?

Amazing how often I hear that.

Do you guys think many on here suffer from some kind of semi-BDD or something? freaking out when they shed hair (which is normal and everyone does), making it seem like they are loosing all their hair when in fact they just go thru the normal shedding?

Starting to think Im probably a little bit like that, I CONSTANTLY check my hair, brush it to see if hairs come out, count them in the shower etc

I see lots of people "diagnose" others with BBD. Truth is BBD is a mental illness and without an examination by a professional nobody should be said to suffer from BBD.

Well yea its obviously an exaggeration but the point is that people on here (including myself) who lose their hair start to become OBSESSED with it

A wise person once said, " Judge your hair loss by the hair on your scalp not the floor." Most people shed on a regular basis.
