That's about the same amount I got the last two times I washed. It's waaay more than usual...which makes me think there's something to this seasonal shedding theory. My hair is still quite bushy, so I'm not too worried...yet.
Hair shedding only happens in the Summer months due to weather. Normal shedding (60-100 hairs per day, not everytime you comb your hair) occurs around fall/spring, which is a natural process of the hair growth cycle. For some people during the summer months due to climate changes etc, they may experience a little more but not much or like globs of hair shedding during a comb or wash session.
If you are having more than 100 hair sheds per day, then you are experiencing hair loss of which can instantly be stopped by increasing intake of the following via supplement or food:
1. Increasing your
protein intake to an additional 15mg per day (remember this is 15mg above your daily requirement).
2.
Inositol found in brewers yeast, fruits, lecithin, milk, molasses, raisins, vegetables, whole grains
.
3.
Biotin found in eggs, yeast, milk, liver, whole grains, saltwater fish, poultry and soybeans
4.
Choline found in egg yolks, liver, lecithin, legumes such as lentil beans, meat, milk, soybeans, whole grains.
5.
Vitamin A. Excessive hair shedding may be sign of a deficientcy in vitamin A. So make sure your daily is giving you the amount you need which is 2,500 i.u. But make sure you are not getting more than 15,000 i.u per day.
Also you may want to try taking a teaspoon of Apple cider vinegar (with about a cup of water, take for only 2 or 3 months) which will regulate a poor metabolism (poor metabolism can cause excessive hair shedding).
I'm only regergitating information I have read and also received from hair professionals.
