Increase in shedding as hair gets longer?

Hi ladies

Does hair shed more, or 'appear' to shed more as your hair get longer?

I remember when I could comb my hair all day long and be able to count the strands I lost, cause they were so few.

Now, every time I comb my hair (1-2 times a week) I lose so much hair, it's crazy. I wondered if this is normal? Or whether long strands make it look like ur losing more (than when ur hair was short)?

My experience has been that longer strands look like more shedding. I wouldn't worry.

I agree not too worry. You mentioned that you only combed 1-2 times a week too. So, you're just seeing that hair all at once.

The longer my hair is the bigger that ball of hair looks. I bet if I counted the strands they would be the exact same amount as what I shed when I was shorter. The strand is just longer, so the volume is more.
