Why does my hair shed a lot? How do you prevent hair loss?

[Anonymous]

Daily I have to clean my floor 4x a day pickup hair in my bathroom. When I take off my shirt there’s always a hair strand falling. I’m tired of hair everywhere and cleaning it. My hair grew super long but sheds a lot and is super thin. In past I have gone to the doctor and gotten blood taken out and they say I’m fine and send me home with no vitamins. Do not say go to the doctor I’m tried going to Kaiser they won’t do shit for my hair loss. I’m 90 lbs used to be 96lbs and lost weight due to stress, I live alone and feel stressed dull empty most of the times. Having finance issues and sales are bad rn from my business. I have brith control shot 3 years now so maybe that is causing hair loss?

I think it’s the stress that’s causing hair loss. Have you tried taking biotin? Sometimes having too long of a hair also causes it to fall off, the roots are just not strong enough to hold on to that much length/weight. Maybe getting it trimmed shorter might help (it helped me a lot).

Also, is your scalp dry or super oily?

I have stress daily girl and I even lost 6 lbs I’m 90 lbs now. I trim the front pieces of my hair but yea it’s super long and thin. I’m surprised why I’m not bald as so much hair is on the floor daily? I’m tired of cleaning hair off the bathroom floor 4x a day! I have biotin shampoo but it don’t do shit

I feel shampoos lie the ones that say biotin don’t help y grow thick hair it’s all a lie.

I think oily cuz if I don’t shower daily then my roots r oily and flat right away

I also lost a bunch of hair back when I lost a shit ton of weight cuz of stress lol I had to take biotin supplements and cut my hair short (bob length) to prevent any more hair loss.

Also, oily scalp could mean that you have high DHT. My scalp was super oily and I was told that it’s not healthy for the hair follicles which is why they end up just falling off. Washing your hair too often could also lead to hair fall, maybe try just washing your hair every other day and use dry shampoo in between.

I’m more stressed how many times per day I need pickup my hair. I’m disgusted walk in my bathroom as my hair is on the floor 24/7 . I take off my scrunchie and more hair is ripping out.

Hair is supposed to fall off daily, it’s just that you’re probably losing more hair than usual.

Hot showers are awesome! Maybe just get some hair vitamins to help strengthen the roots. Seeing your hair fall off is stressful but it’s only gonna stress you out even more which will lead to more hair fall and that leads to more stress lmao it’s a vicious cycle 😂

Vitamins and dermatologist

What vitamins do I need?

Ask a doctor. Vitamin E for skin and some say D. Ask a doctor for medications.
