Every time I wash (which is usually every other day), my hair falls out by the handful. It looks like a small animal is in the shower drain. It's a wonder I'm not bald! I never used to shed like this. I experienced bad shedding after both my kids were born, but now it won't seem to stop. My hair is very fine and thin to begin with, so I don't want to lose any of what I have. I don't pull or comb to detangle-my hair is usually tangle-free after conditioning.
It also never seems to grow because the new growth can barely catch up with the fallout.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to decrease shedding?
Thanks!

Hey JerCat. It seems like lots of people are experiencing shedding right now - it may be related to the season.....I control my shedding by taking MSM and using very diluted shampoo or CO. Hope that helps. -------------

Has your diet changed any? Are you at any transitional period for your hormones? Do you have noticeably less hair? If it worries you, ask your doctor to take a look at your thyroid. Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

Hi JerCat,
There are two specific supplements which I take and have noticed that fallout lessens with their use: horsetail herb, and silica. Of course, i also take a base multi-vit-min, plus other supplements (described in another thread on this board). ------------- |
