Is shedding a bad thing or just part of the process?

(Hair Tonic Powder) Pure Ayurveda-Hair Care
FOR HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH
Contains Henna, Hirda, Behada, Amalaki, Magic Nut, Bhringaraj, Rosary Pea, Sweet Flag, Cashmere Tree and Mandoor (Mineral).
Gives firmness to the hair root. Promotes healthy hair growth, stops excessive hair fall. Fights bacterial infection. Helps preserve natural hair colour. Henna acts as conditioner (does not colour the hair)
How to use : Mix with water or oil to make a paste. Massage gently into scalp. Wrap a towel, moistened with hot water, on your head. This will open up pores and enhance penetration to hair follicle. Keep towel for 15 minutes and the paste for one hour. Wash off. Use daily or at least twice a week. Initially dead hair will fall. Do not worry. Regular use will promote healthy hair growth.

Okay I am a newbie with hair growth. I was doing that whateva happens happens routine/regimen before but now I am curious and actually taking steps toward BSL hair something I though was not achievable before.

So I am doing my daily search and I come across this product. Can anyone help me? What does this mean? And why shouldn't I worry.

I hear lots of folks talk about hair shedding, hair plateau and such but I thought that stuff was okay. Is it or should it be something to be avoided? I know breakage=not cool but shedding is that "bad".

Just need to be hip to the lingo and what folks are trying to achieve so I can formulate my own goals.

While reading info and talking to an Indian lady at my job I figured out that fall=dead hair shedding. It's normal in the context referenced above.

Thanks for the response! But I got that much. I was wondering when people on here talk about shedding they make it sound bad as in not good. Is shedding okay in the hair growth cycle or people here on LHCF avoiding like the plague.

TQ

Yeah I know what they're trying to say but the way they put it isn't appealing at all.

Here's a thread I posted with facts about shedding.​

 

[Irresistible]

There are many possible scenarios going on when you read of shedding on here

Seasonal
Hormonal
Product reaction
Growth aid side effect
post partum
etc

and yes you will see many threads of ladies trying to avoid shedding , and/or worrying about shedding even in normal amounts

we just dont like to see alot of hairs in our combs for some reason

 

[Irresistible]

oh and let me add

medication
illness

to the list

oh and possible nutritional issues

Yes, I see it when people are reviewing products... "made me shed so stopped using it...product causes shedding so I trashed it" these are not direct quotes but that is the gist. I am looking into some products to add to my arsenal so I just got confused for real.

So when I saw that product and their explanation (Pure Ayurveda), I was like YEAH! I know well at least I thought I knew like I said I am a hair growth newbie. Shedding never scared me as long as mass clumps of hair didn't come out.

I thought we were SUPPOSED to shed up to 100 hairs a day

So do I just ignore shedding complaints that LHCF folks talk about when it comes to products I just started using....

Now breakage is another thing all together. Breakage is the root of all hair evil in my book!

yes because you have to know your own hair and what made one shed might not make you shed at all-its more like if you really want to beware of everything then dont tread there, some do, some dont

but when you know your hair, you will know whats excessive 'for you' right away, and if it continues it can be a cause for concern

some count , some are just that serious about this hair thing, some dont, we embrace it all here

some are overboard with it , some might actually mourn over some shed hair LOL , I been there, we are all growing and learning things here and in different places with our hair and how we feel about things

so some things you just gotta let go and understand its where that person is on that issue, some of us have real hair issues too, hair anorexia etc, stick around , you will see it all

me personally, I dont trip off of shedding , as I have been sick and lost over half my hair before, so I know whats excessive right off, BUT if I can find anything to keep more hair on my head, I'm gonna do that too

less shedding is always a good thing I think

 

[Irresistible]

oh and me

I will be the one running around here deathly afraid of protein overload

nice to meet ya

I'm one of those that shedded EXCESSIVELY due to products. When I say excessively I mean I got around 200-300 hairs a day. Normal shedding is average up to 100 a day. Like Iris said, just because a product causes shedding for one doesn't mean for all. When people mention shedding here it's usally a protein/moisture balance issue and sometimes meds and other things like Iris described before. As long as you know your hair and what the normal shedding looks like, then you should be cool.

Whoa! Yes, I wish people would remark on the amount of shedding.

Also I am scared of protein overload its a phobia of mine I know in many cases its irrational but I can't stop worrying.

I will see what happens I would hate to cut and start from scratch but if I use a product that f-s my hair then so be it here I come TWA.

So far all the meds I am on and off again haven't done too much to my hair. Or at least I don't think so...

Just curious about the "shedding" thing I mean the "shedding or do they mean BREAKAGE" thing.

TQ

Unfortunately, some people STILL don't know the difference between shedding and breakage. The point is that YOU need to know YOUR hair as stated by previous posters, if you go by what people say on this board you will go bonkers!!!!

Listen to your hair and she will thank you by being fly all the time.

And WELCOME!!!!
