This IS Natural, Right?

Question

I brush my hair twice a day. Once in the morning when I wake up and then at night before bed. My stepmom says it's not normal that I shed like a dog.. I have thick Long hair.  I take care of my hair and take vitamins. My question is, it's perfectly normal that my hair sheds, right? I have a lot of it.

Answer

The average person loses 100 strands of hair a day, if you wear your hair in a pony tail or up, it's likely that it's just all coming out at once instead of slowly through out the day. As long as you don't have any bald spots you are perfectly fine.

Answer

So long as you don't notice your hair thinning, you're fine.

Answer

People with shorter hair shed too but it's more noticeable and visible when it's long hairs.

Answer

Yeah, it's normal, especially if you have super long and super thick hair. A good portion of the hair on your head is probably dead.

Answer

Your hair sounds just like mine. I brush in the morning and then once it's dry after my night shower. 
I get a hairbrush full every time

Answer

I shed a ton. I have thick, fine textured hair that is very healthy and I still shed like crazy. Totally normal!

Answer

Yeah it's normal. I'm always seeing hairs fall out and pulling hair out (that's already falling out). I know it's not a lot tho, I just have a lot of hair.

Answer

I have chronic telogen effluvium, it makes me shed more than normal.

Answer

Girl I'm the same way! I shed like a dog. My mom used to pick on me for it. She jokes that since I've left the house they don't have to vacuum as much. What's weird is her hair is long and thick and my sisters is too but I'm the one who sheds! I can't help it and I'm like you, I take good care of it. But whatever. Seems normal enough to me.
