Excessive shedding?

[iSuperHeroic]

So I was in the bathtub today and looked down into the water and noticed a lot of my hair was floating around. An amount that makes me nervous. I gently grabbed my hair with both hands and slid them down and 7-8 strands of hair came out.


I stopped taking Biotin about 3 weeks ago, it gave me acne. I noticed I shed a lot less than before I was taking it. But I've never shed this much.

Has anyone who's taken Biotin experienced this problem?


What can I do to fix it?

I wouldn't worry- that's seriously hardly any shedding. I shed about 50 to 70 hairs in the shower went I wash my hair.

Okay, thank you. I was nearly freaking out. I'm not used to losing more than 2-3 hairs when I shower.

When I was using shampoo and conditioner, I was losing up to thirty strands each wash, not counting how many would shed when combing and brushing my hair.

So yeah... lol 7-8 strands is nothing to sweat over. You're good.
