    Default Shedding - when do you shed the most

    Hiya,

    I have noticed increased shedding, and we have just got into spring...im wonder if (like our four legged friends) shedding in humans is seasonal...or constant..

    I seem to shed almost the same amount of hairs every time I wash no matter what season it is.

    I seem to shed the same, but we don't seem to have seasons in the UK...although there was that sunny week in May....

    I think I shed consistently, but I've never really paid attention (because I worry about shedding enough as it is, I try my best not to notice it at all)

    I'm pretty sure I shed the same throughout the year.. that is, unless I do something dramatic or harmful to my hair. Then more comes out in the shower and while brushing .

    I shed consistantly, but there can be variations here and there.

    I shed more when I get conditioner or thick(creamy or pearly) shampoos on my scalp, or if I go more than a couple of days between washes.

    I'm going through my annual Sept/Oct shed. This seems odd to me since most animals shed when the weather warms up in the spring and I am shedding right as it turns cool. Maybe a delayed reaction to August heat???
