Question about hair sheding
Posted by Joe on March 09, 2001 at 01:54:14:
I am 18yrs of age and it seems like everytime I get in the shower I lose an entire clump of hair (not from one spot) from all over!!!
Is this a normal Summer thing? or should I worry?

I heard the daily hair loss is about 100 hairs. In the morning I find about 20 single hairs in the bathtub, hair length usually between 20 and 30 cm, so it sometimes looks like a disaster, but if this would be all the hair I lose during a day I will be happy. With combing I am really carefully and the lost hair through this procedure is less then 10, often less than 5 single hairs (use a conditioner, if combing will pull too much hair out and a wide teeth hard rubber saw cut comb, even if the hair isn't really long, it is less harmful for the hair if your order it with hands). I think you should be worried if the amount of hair loss during a day exceeds the above mentioned limit essentially, in this case I would consult a skin. Good luck with your hair.
