Is this a normal amount of hair to lose after not using a brush for 4 days?

[xJayleenx]

I lost this

Plus this just by running my hands through my hair

And this is how long my hair is

I have very curly and complicated hair and it gets knotted super easily. I've been having a hard time so seeing my hair coming out like this has only made me feel worse. I can’t even brush my hair when it’s dry I have to brush it when it’s wet lol or else it’ll look very ugly/damaged if I do. This is how my dried hair looks

Could it be because my hair is very long now? Straightened or when very wet it is waist length

Honestly, you need to get checked for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, hair loss is one of the main symptoms.

[xJayleenx]

Isn’t this normal though if you hair length is waist length? I do not have that my mother does though I get periods regularly, and I do not have excessive hair like they do so I know that I don’t have that. I also have not cut my hair in over two years

[xJayleenx]

My hair is waist length but it shrinks when it’s curly

[xJayleenx]

My hair keeps on getting so knotted and for no reason especially at the roots

[Sunflower19]

My hair is like yours and long like yours naturally. With Pcos you don't have to have excessive hair growth because there are 4 types of pcos. Over a year ago, my hair was knotted EVERYWHERE and detanglers weren't working and I was losing so much hair! I thought it was stress but turns out my hormones were not balanced.

[xJayleenx]

But my hair is super curly therefore dryer and more knotted. Your hair is straight you don’t know the struggle even wavy girls can’t relate because we can’t even brush our hair dry 😭

[xJayleenx]

My hair thicker too. I don’t know my boyfriend has Indian sisters with short hair and he said that it’s normal

[Sunflower19]

Lmao I straighten my hair. Like my last reply, my hair is extremely curly and long. I know the struggles. My hair is like Shirley temple curly. Always has been.

[xJayleenx]

When I straighten my hair I notice myself losing less maybe I should straighten it again even if the smell bothers me. I haven’t straightened my hair since like January

[xJayleenx]

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t brushed my hair with a brush for four days could that be why?

[xJayleenx]

Thank you for answering. I’ve been worried this is kind of new. I have just quit a job too.

[xJayleenx]

Not sure if this has happend before but I just didn’t notice.

[Staximus]

I'm no hair expert but you need to start off combing your hair with a "wide tooth detangling comb" before using a brush so you won't pull it out

[xJayleenx]

I was using my hands and a wide tooth comb

[Staximus]

I mean like an extra wide tooth

[TallAnon]

You got curly hair, that's normal, be sure to get a good comb with wide teeth

[TallAnon]

Oh and don't brush it when wet

[xJayleenx]

There’s no other way for curly hair. Brushing it dry is actually a mistake that causes brekaage for super curly hair also you remember hagrid? It makes me look like him 😂

[TallAnon]

Yeah, don't use a fine brush at all

[HelloImGoodThanks]

Use some detangled hair spray it can help make brushing easier. As for you question for some women they can lose that amount of hair in one day

[Guardian45]

I have no clue, except this fact. People with dark hair have more hairs than blondes or other colors. So you have LOTS to spare! LOL!

But if it persists or gets worse, speak to your doctor.

[888theGreat]

you will never miss it with that much hair. I would have to lose all my hair to be equal

[888theGreat]

I will bet my left nut , you will never be bald

[xJayleenx]

Bald doesn’t run in my family so unless i get chemo or alopecia i shouldn’t be bald

[888theGreat]

That is why I risked a nut

[es20490446e]

I get more than that, and I have very dense hair nowadays.

[Bklynbadboy12]

For anybody else I would say that's not normal but for you it's normal you have a lot of hair and you have a full head of hair so that's gonna happen you're gonna have some tangles but no big deal you still have plenty of hair and it looks amazing

[annabananna]

I’m not sure. If it was me losing that much it would not be normal but it looks like you have more hair and thicker hair than I do.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Your hair looks pretty good I don't see it looking bad

[Flats-Runner]

When I had long hair that was normal for me as well.

[Dingsbums]

U have really thick hair so I guess it’s normal

[CloudMassacre]

Yeah, I have straight long hair, and I comb some out every day

[Dreamclouds]

It looks like a lot, maybe some vitamins deficiency?

[Zolly99999]

Maybe... you do have a head full of thick hair. ..

[justFriend]

you should use conditioner. and you should go to hospital

[VikingWarLord]

Are you mixed

[xJayleenx]

I guess so? Im Dominican so I’m European, Middle eastern, west African, and a bit of indigenous

[xJayleenx]

I've never met a black person in my family but apparently im 23 percent sub saharan 😂

[VikingWarLord]

well damn, how tall are you?
That last pic is sexy asf

[VikingWarLord]

You took 23AndMe huh?

[saffoler]

It depends on if you continue to lose that much.
