This is BULLSH*T!!! I need HELP :(

For the last three weeks my hair has been falling out like crazy!!! The shower drain isn't looking pretty and I'm pissed!!!!!!!

I'm not stressed
I'm eating right
Period is normal and regular
Haven't switched shampoo

So what gives????

I love my hair and hate that it's falling out so much

I started taking Biotin two weeks ago for my hair but I'm wondering if you ladies have any advice or home remedies

Thanks!!!

I shed worse than the dog!! I find my shedding is seasonal and around this time of year I tend to lose more. You could be going though a shedding cycle.

Its a good thing with the biotin though I would think it would take at least another 2 weeks before noticing a difference.

Sounds silly, but how about taking prenatal vitamins?

I started taking them because we are TTC and my hair is growing like crazy.

I dont know! But you do have ALOT of beautiful thick hair so maybe its just dead hair falling out to make way for new strands?

thats what i was gonna say. i know when my hair starts getting a little too long it starts falling out like crazy. maybe it's time for a trim?

Re: This is BULLSH*T!!! I need HELP :(

I'll think about the vitamins - thanks

As for dead hair falling out - it's beyond excessive. I's coming out sooo fast - can't be all dead hair

Normally, losing 100 strands a day is ok but I feel like i'm losing so much more.

I was thinking of going for a trim - the last time I went was October. Kind of a big break but I used to go every 6 month in the past

I had this problem a year ago in the winter. A pharmacist told me that it's natural to lose more hair in thewinter and to take vitamins.

I have thick hair and shed alot too. It drives DH crazy and even clogs the vaccuum sometimes (we have really velcro-y carpet and everything STICKS)

I notice it gets better and worse with the seasons. It also improved when I chopped my hair short. I agree about the pre-natal vitamins- they are supposed to be amazing, good luck!

Hmmmm.....

There is a cyclic nature to hair loss. I don't think it's a winter/summer thing.

Vitamins are a good idea...but I don't really think they effect hair as much as we think it does.

Count the hairs...If you are REALLY noticing a difference without doing anything different, and you are getting concerned...go to a dermatologist. If you have one, you could probably even phone-consult her.

Re: This is BULLSH*T!!! I need HELP :(

My hair falls out like crazy too. I don't know why but it seems like a common problem. If it's a huge difference from what you normally experience go get it checked.

Re: This is BULLSH*T!!! I need HELP :(

I've never heard of Biotin, but my hair does fall out too.
I kinda just thought that my hair falls out alot because its naturally curley and I always straighten it, so in reality, I'm killing my hair.

I'd consult s Dr.

You're not preggo tho, so dont worry. I've actually heard ur hair grows even more when ur preggo!!
