I have been growing my hair long. Its about 4 inches below my shoulders now. It seems my hair falls out increasingly. It is very thick so is not really "missed" at this time but is annoying when I have hair all over my clothes, sweaters, the floors of the bathroom etc. is it because my hair is longer and too heavy? Or could it be somthing else. I'm over 40 and have thick brown hair.

I share your loss, Kathie (pun unintended). For several months, I found my thick hair everywhere too, including my pillow. I have found hair goes thru a shedding phase since I am not expereincing that much loss now, only when I brush my hair, though loose hairs do still appear on my shoulders. Apparently, it is normal to lose between 40-100 hairs a day, but of course we'd like to keep most of those on our head to begin with! I am not sure if yours is also going thru this phase, but I'd like you to take heart it isn't a long term problem, unless you do have an underlying cause.
