Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

When I first joined LHCF, someone posted about saving their shed hairs in a zip lock bag from week to week to compare hair loss. So I started doing it from week to week. At first I would only collect hair loss from a wash/condition cycle but that doesn't really give me all the info I need. Week to week is much better. Surprisingly, I lose less hair as the week progresses. I'm going to take a pic Saturday and post it.

Do you all think you really lose 100 hairs daily?

I think 100 a day is an average. It may vary depending on many things.

It doesn't feel like I shed a 100 hairs daily, it feels a lot less than that, but that is probably just wishful thinking on my part lol.

When I as relaxed, 15-50 depending on how far-close I was to wash day. Yes, I counted. Nowadays, 500, but I’m sure it’s just because natural hair looks like a lot in the shower drain :look:

It never ceases to amaze me how different everyone is. I feel the complete opposite. My relaxed hair seems like more because they are so long and are entangled with each other. I hardly noticed shed hair when I was natural.

@shortdub78, @Sosoothing and @LushLox, 100 sounds like a lot for a daily shedding average, but yep, on some days I'm 100. I wish I could talk my son into unraveling all my shed hairs each day and counting them for me.

Do kids still think $2 is a lot of money?

Oh I see. I don't know if 100 hairs would look like a lot to me. I have never counted my shed hair. But I can eye ball it and know when it's more than usual or less.
$2? I think it depends on the age of the child :lol:. The younger ones will think it's a lot.

I noticed it more relaxed because I combed my hair daily and of course, it was longer. So I totally agree on that.

Now, it seems like more because they clump into a ball, but there have been times where I would take each hair from the ball and because I detangle once a week, the shed hairs will roughly be the same amount or less than when I was relaxed. I don’t notice any hairs daily because I just bun and that involves barely brushing.

I just sit around everyday and pull hairs out. I really didn’t care for it as a natural.. they would become so entangled!
 
I had a weird dream. I had a dream that I told my son to comb my hair, and he combed out enough to make four THICK bundles. I remember being so sad about that, and I kept saying "I'm probably bald headed now." Also, in that dream he was missing a chunk of the back of his head. We kept closing the "flaps" of his head until we got to the doctor.

I hate dreaming :mad:

LOL :D:D FUNNY! Waking up is the best part....relief.
 
I officially started a life change for good. Instead of riding to work today, I walked (speed walked at times) the whole 46 minutes there! It was so triumphant. So walking to work is my new thing. There are the knowers and the doers. I want to finally be the doer since I am a knower.

No way, I lose way more than 100 hairs a day. And on wash day when my scalp gets really clean and those hairs that have been waiting to shed are set free, it's even more.

46 minutes?! Kudos. That is pretty spectacular. Keep it up!

Thank you!!!

What helped with speed was listening to John Legend "Green Light" on repeat. Good song for speed, check it out lol.

I want to be strong mentally and physically.

Another thing that helped was picturing myself 20lbs lighter and getting back to myself again.

For motivation Check this out! Also go to his YouTube!! http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-get-motivation-to-lose-weight.htm

Oh yes! This is one of the songs I listen to as I get ready for work. It does get you moving!! Thanks for the website.
 
I have been coloring my hair since I was 17 but those days are over. My natural hair does not like the bleach from the permanent blonde colors I have been using. Today I went back to dark brown. The hairstylist showed me how much she needed to trim off the back which looked to be about an inch. She said 'You need to start deep conditioning.' I deep condition weekly! Blonde is not fun and is not helping me reach my goal of MBL!
