Would you say your shed amount varies.........

[GracieRae]

Or is it about the same every wash? Just curious

The same every wash. I haven't shed since joining LHC! But honestly today when I combed my hair after my shower there was a lot more hair than usual in the comb :( when I typically don't find ANY. And I wore my hair in a half up most of the day (it is usually ALWAYS up)... and there were some shed hairs found on myself today... but I was wearing black and my hair is somewhat light so... I'm hoping it is from not oiling as often? Or something. I've been trying to not get greasy.

[maborosi]

Depends on if I'm using a shampoo or not since I don't shampoo very often these days. When I do, I shed a lot more.

~maborosi~

[joflakes]

Yep, varies a lot. For example when I use a Directions dye on it..wow. There are a LOT of hairs shedding! If I use CO, not so much. Totally depends!

[Suze2012]

I don't shed much at all anymore.

I used to a lot more when I used real shampoo and a comb but I don't use either now.
I co wash all week, deep treat and use sls free poo and fingercomb.
I shed more when I started co washing but I scrub less hard now - not sure if that makes a difference or not though.

[AJoifulNoise]

I shed more when I shampoo than when I CO. And, naturally, I shed more when I have gone longer between washes. But these sheds seem pretty consistent.

[pink.sara]

It does seem pretty consistent, although henna weight will pull some extras out but I'm not worried as I'm sure they would have gone soon anyway!

[bayleafwish]

Is it true about the autumn shed? I have shed quit a bit recently but that could b because I am paying more attention to my haor and therfor noticing it. It has slowed down since i have been using sls free, cone free and cold rinses , so i have convinced myself it was something to do with my extremely hot shower.

[AineMuirne]

If I've washed my hair every day in a week, I always lose the same amount of hair. When I skip days, my hair seems to "catch up" with a slightly larger shed. They're still small sheds, though. I need to work on stretching washes... my hair just gets so icky so fast and I don't want to deal with it looking bad.

[millyaulait]

Mine is almost always the same.

A LOT.

[spidermom]

It varies.
Sometimes hairs seem to be jumping off my head, like the last month or so.

Other times, not so much.

[Madora]

Pretty much stays the same.

[Mayflower]

Nope, it's pretty much the same amount each time; 5-10 hairs in the shower (when I wash it). When I brush it, it depends. Sometimes I have no patience and brush a little less gentle, but most of the time I'm pretty careful and therefore loose just a few hairs.

[spookyghost]

Right now Im in the middle of a big shed. So its always a ton but some days may be a little more or a little less.

[~honeyflower~]

I will have a shedding time about every four months, then it will stop and I will have no shedding after that.

[JellyBene]

I go through phases where I have practically zero shedding, like under 10 a day. And then other times it's closer to 20-30 so more normal and once I even went through a period of a couple weeks where I was losing well over 100 hairs every day, that scared me but luckily it stopped.

[Suze2012]

I wash everyday I shed very little.

Leaving a co wash for two days and it's more...two days worth of what seems like natural shed.

It used to be a lot more with sls shampoo used every other day though. Double or treble the amount at least.

[ravenreed]

Shampooing and heavy oiling make me shed more. So does dyeing my hair. When I CO, I don't shed much at all.

ETA: I should say that I don't shed much in the shower, but apparently from the carpet of Raven-hairs all over my floors, I still shed at quite an astounding rate. I am continually surprised that I can shed so much and still have hair on my head. My sons have threatened a mutiny, claiming that my hairs have developed super intelligence, and are actively trying to do them in. Otherwise, how would they end up in rooms that I almost never enter, and in places that no hairs should ever go?

Ravenreed, lol I love your sons reason to mutiny!

My hairs also get everywhere, people can tell when I have been in a meeting room by the red hairs I leave. I have always shed a prodigious amount, easily 50-100 hairs in the shower ( I wash every 2-3 days). Treseme made it a bit worse but really it doesn't matter if I use shampoo or CO washing. Post cassia it is a bit of a scary shed, but that is just the mechanical effect of getting the flipping stuff out - good thing its well worth the effort!

[lapushka]

Pretty much stays the same, apart from two periods in time (shedding season in autumn & spring).

[Loveisaverb]

When I changed shampoos, I shed increased by maybe 3 hairs.
This is coming from someone who sheds so little, like maybe shed like 8 hairs a day.
So its usually about the same.

[Sarahlabyrinth]

I seem to be pretty much the same all the time, losing around 20 hairs a day.

[cwarren]

It varies depending on the products I use to wash my hair. I shed more using shampoo than using just conditioner. I shed even less when I only use herbal rinses.

[teal]

About the same, with seasonal increases followed by slight lulls (spring/autumn)

[dwell_in_safety]

I haven't really noticed any variation in my shed rate, outside of a recent minor shed caused by major stress. I think for many there is a seasonal fluctuation, though.

[shutterpillar]

It definitely varies based on season and whether or not I am using shampoo. I shed a LOT less when I CO wash. I have about double the shedding after shampoo and conditioner.

I have also found I shed a bit more in the spring.

[jojo]

I shed about 5 hairs when washing my hair and probably about 20 when combing or brushing, I clean my brush weekly and it's hardly anything I remove. I do however shed seasonal where I can shed up to approx 100 hairs a day for 3 months, then it goes back to minimal shedding.

When my hair was long before, I lost a lot more in fact our vacuum cleaner was forever getting hairs round the wheels and my sink would block, I did change my hair colour as often as my underwater and blew dried and straightened my hair daily though!

[terylenerose]

I can't tell, honestly. I think it might be more when I CO (which I don't do anymore because it doesn't work), but who knows. I hope it decreases a little now that I'm keeping my scalp de-yucked better.
