I wasn't sure if this was due to my hair getting longer and being more noticeable (or just not going down the drain), but now I'm not sure. it seems like the people who successfully grow out their hair lose no more than 50 hairs per day. I just did a oil deep conditioning treatment and lost hair when applying the oil and then hair in the drain when i washed it out; I tried to count the number of hairs but lost count at 50, so I'm losing over 50 hairs per day or so I'm guessing. I want to maintain long full hair and at ii I don't have the iii amount of hair to work with in terms of shedding and keeping thick hair. At the same time it seems like when I just run my finger through my hair, I'm not coming away with much hair at all. I've started to take a low dose iron supplement just in case, no more than I would from a multivitamin. I've also started taking a digestive supplement to make sure I'm fully utilizing my food. When I started growing my hair it seems like I was losing practically no hair and I wasn't eating suuuper healthy, but generally i do eat healthier than most.
Am I losing too much?
How can I lose less?
This was the problem that put me in a position to cut my hair short the first time.
Please help!
