fast growers=more shedding?

[jojo]

Just a quick question, my hair grows painfully slow yet I dont shed a great deal, hardly any. Even in September which is my main shedding month the max I shed is probably approx 50 hair opposed to say 20.

So this got me thinking is there a connection with fast growers and more shed?

Is your hair fast growing?

Do you shed more than the average 100 hairs a day?

Is your hair slow growing?

Do you hardly shed anything?

Please also state your hair type.

TIA

I'm a fast grower and yes, I do shed quite a bit at times. Often more than 100 hairs a day. It has never made a difference in thickness though, so I have learned to stop worrying about it. I'm mystified as to how to type my hair right now. It's getting thicker and more coarse as I rapidly turn white.

I'm a fast grower and I shed about 150 hairs a day but I used to shed around 15. It started to make a difference in my thickness but then I changed shampoos and shed a lot less.

I'm a fast grower!

I have a normal shed of up to 50 hairs a day give or take a few, nothing major.

My hair type is 2a/M/ii.

My hair grows pretty fast, but it doesn't shed much at all. If I back comb it and such, maybe 50-75 hairs, but regularly, less than 50. It's probably why I have crazy thick hair.(Ok, only about 4.5 inches as of my mini bun with a couple strands missing. So I'm sure there are people with thicker hair here. I'm a borderline wavy, depending on the weather, so that adds a bit of volume!)

I'm a fine hair and I think I grow fairly quickly. I have never noticed whether I shed more or less, tho.

I do shed, but I think the most I shed is when I wash and do heavy oilings.

I'd say I'm a faster grower. I've been growing at about 3/4 to 1 inch per month. I don't shed too much. I'd say between 50-80 hairs per day. I do have hair on the thinner side of normal, so if I shed a lot, I would end up with very thin hair! My type is 1a/F/ii.

I think I grow pretty quickly. I have thick hair.

I think I shed quite a bit (if I took a pic of the three clumps I shed today I think you would be surprised.

I was actually thinking about this in the shower (since I washed today and lost another clump of hairs) but I think it only makes sense.

Long hair, fast growing, thick = more shed hairs.

I have never had the patience to count my hairs and I couldn't even guesstimate the loss. I am lazy, that's why I have long hair!

[RancheroTheBee]

I barely shed most of the time. The max number of hairs I shed at one time is when I use shampoo (twice a week?) is about 20. During a normal day, it's as little as five. And I have such slow-growing hair, it's actually quite pathetic.

My hairtype is 2c/M/ii or thereabouts.

I'm slow grower and usually shed very little. My hair is about 2a/2b-M-ii.
