Om, the amount of shedding in those pics doesn't look unusual. I'm a bit confused.

 

[TCatt86]

It doesn't look that bad to me especially if that is what ur getting on your wash day.

 

[productjunkie814]

I wish I had that much shedding on wash days, lol!

 

[hillytmj]

No, that's pretty normal to me.

Are you comparing your shedding to other people on this board who say they lose less than 5 hairs per wash? If so, I definitely don't think that's the case for everyone.

I've heard the statistic that it's normal to lose up to 100 hairs per day, so I think you're okay.

I get the long shedded hair's daily when ever I comb my hair. At onetime I was not having any shedding at all and now it is like everday I get some shedded pieces. The last time I shedded was last year in august and it was ptotein overload and I went and no shedding and now this month I am shedding again.

Am I freaking out for no reason. Yall just don't undestand I finally haver some healhy hair and I plan on keeping it.

Girl I am still learning myself but I do not see anything unusual.Experienced ladies will chime and help you out.Your hair looks healthy

Is that all shed hair or does it include some broken hairs aswell? Also, are you collecting that hair off the floor, from your clothes etc ... as you go about your day? Or is it coming from those combs and brushes. If it's from the combs and brushes, then maybe just finger comb for the next 2-3 days and see if you're still shedding as much.

Interestingly enough, I just saw this quote in someone's fotki album.

Your hair is at the end of its growth cycle when it sheds, which means, YAAAAY NEW HAIR IS COMING. Hair growth cycle usually lasts 4-6 years, finally it sheds.

Hope it helps .

I think this is normal as well; however, i will venture to say that the paddle brush that you are using (the one on the inside) is the same one that I had and it ripped hairs out of my head. I invested in a detangling brush from Aveda and I have less hairs from one week than I would have from the other brush in one day.

I agree that the shedding looks like the norm, hair is going to shed, my friend sheds a lot but she still has a lot of hair but that's just how she sheds. I shed a little to a lot depending on my products and if they are detangling my hair well or not.

Just like we shed skin (dust) we shed hair.

I don't think anyone else mentioned this, notice you have a new lil one so it might be safe to say postpartum shedding. But it's minimal nothing to worry about. your hair looks nice and healthy.

I believe the beautiful little angel in OP's siggy is her granddaughter. OP, I don't think you should be alarmed.

Humans shed an average of 50-100 hairs per day. You may shed 25 or 150, just depends on you. And you're probably not noticing all the hair that's coming out throughout the day.

You're shedding is neither big nor bad. So stop tripping.

I'm not sure if I understand this thread. I wish my shedding looked like yours.
