That was uncalled for, dude.
Anyway, Lilldope, here's what you do first...take a DEEP breath, relax, and focus. Suzy Q is right, it is normal to lose about 150 hairs per DAY. If you wear your hair back a lot, it doesn't have a chance to shed and will therefore do it when you take it down (to shower, in your case). If it looks like your hairline is receding, head to your doc...for peace of mind if nothing else. It'll be ok!

WHERE do people get the idea that cutting hair SHORT will prevent
it from falling out????
That's just an Old Wives Tale...

This is a "long hair men's board." It's here for men who have, are growing, or want long hair.
I wouldn't go onto a bald hair lovers board and tell them all to grow their hair out.

Good point, but he didn't want to cut his hair. That was his query in the first place (correct me if I'm wrong).

"your going bald, cut your hair"
We don't need people like you around here if that is the way you are going to present yourself, sinista! Lildope came to us for help and your not helping the guy at all with such ignorance! It's obvious from his post he is very concerned and he needs people like you to just clam up! I'd shape up or ship out, bro!
Hey Lildope, don't listen to people like this, their only here to cause trouble. Listen to SuzyQ and Jenn, they know how to help. Peace, bro!

Shedding
As a general rule everyone will experience normal shedding of 150 strands per day. However, if your strands exceeds this amount you will need to pay special attention to your hair because this a sign that some type of damage is on the seen. If you are experiencing long strand shedding this may be a symptom of chemical damage. There are several reasons for shedding and often times it was something that occurred as longs as three months ago such as medications, hormone imbalance, and even stress. It is best to address your hair maintenance issues by first making sure your hair is balanced with both protein and moisturizing conditioners.
Found this on the net... hope it helps.
(sorry about the previous post...hot enter by accident and it posted. *ugh*)
Normal...

Hair falling out daily is a very normal thing. Keeping it short won't make any difference at all. You will still lose hair on a daily basis wether it is short or long. It is the root that it falls from, so the length has nothing to do with it. Keep growing and ignore it, your hair will be fine.
On the other hand, time will tell if you are having a balding/receding problem, and that is a total different subject. If you are thinning on top and not in back, then this might be the case (i think this is called "male pattern baldness?"). Long hair also has nothing to do with this. This is a very common thing with men, so you might want to have someone in that professional field have a look at your hair to be for sure. I am no expert on the info I just gave you, so don't take my word for it, just the best I could offer you based on what you said. Good luck and Peace!

I Got totally obsessed with my Hair and I got sooo hella depressed over it, and it seemed to make matters even worst!!!!. Now i'm like in a cycle that I feel hella depressed all the time than I lose more hair. My parents say that I'm losing Hair Cause i'm Depressed all the time, I can't Help it i'm Depressed cause i'm losing my hair!! (Cycle). I don't Wanna goto school or leave my house cause I feel so bad,. People at school make fun of me over it and given me a nickname "Scary Sherry". Now it Seems my life is totally Ruined, I hate my Life. There was once this day where I was really happy with myself, but now that is all gone. I hope you go Bald and Hella depressed like me so u know how it feels like, cause nobody does, If i'm not happy no should be!!!! excuse me while I go kill myself!! (I will someday)

Sherry,
I am happy and think everyone else should be. Get the help you need. Talk to a school counselor, your parents, anybody to make sure you get the help you need.
