Fess Up! How Many Hairs Do You Lose Daily?

You know, I look at your hair and I don't see low density. I just see flippin' gawjus! .

But I get what you're saying. I just say that for those whom obsess and do a 100 different things to reduce it. Many times they do all of this and it only worsens the situation. I know from experience .

I was the lone ranger who said none because I read the question wrong. I do not comb my hair with a comb but when I do moisturize and finger detangle it I lose between 10 - 30 hairs daily. This is just a guess because I don't bother to count the hairs.

EnExitStageLeft thank you, mama! Do you think we could trade manes for a month? So, I can see what it's like to have beautiful high density swangilicious hair,

3.5 kids? Are you prego? Congratulations if you are girlie.

I lose anywhere from 60-120 hairs a day.

No I'm not sick.

Yes, I tea rinse.

Yes this happens everyday all day.

No, I'm not worried.

Yes, I usually have a gum ball size on wash day.

....and Yes, I'm perfectly fine with it.

Except your shedding for what it is. It'll make your life a hella' of lot easier .

Yeah that's me, but without the high density, and the fabulousness of your hair.
And off topic: those signature pictures are so beautiful. Love love love the second picture in red with the bun.

It's likely impossible to truly know because it's so easy to miss a ton of hair. Our fingers and wide-toothed combs don't remove all the shed.

I normally get a hamster sized ball after every wash, every 2 weeks or so nowadays. I shed quite a bit, even my eyebrows, I just now pulled at them slightly and 5 shed came out. I don't care much, shedding needs to happen. Breakage is normally what I keep track of.

 

[yaya24]

Shedding at least 50..plus
I honestly don't count, because shedding is normal.

@ronie

Ummmm....About you not being high density. Are you sure about that? Your twistouts always look dense as a mug. Imma' need to have a meeting with you and MileHighDiva about the low density whatnots lol

Also, thank you for the sweet compliment. I love that lipstick. Best 3 dollars I spent this year .

 

[PeaceFlow]

Hmm,

I only detangle once every 3 weeks or so and I have about 3 small balls of hair by the end. No idea how many but I'd guess 70-100 per week.

 

[Mahsiah]

Maybe about 20-30 hairs a day.

The kinkiness of my hair makes it appear full. My 2 strand twists look pathetic. You can see my scalp from the moon. I wash my hair loose in the shower, and never fear my hair getting matted. I just don't have a lot of hair.
It never used to be that way though. I had super high dense hair before my pregnancy. But my hair never recovered from that massive post partum shedding that lasted over a year. That's what caused me to find LHCF to begin with. But i work with what i got, and just sip on the haterade when i see the high density ladies.

Well, either way its beautiful! I never knew post partum could last that long. The body is a crazy thing.

 

[Lovestyr]

Hmm I only detangle my hair on wash day, in which is once a week. So, I would estimate like 30 hairs maybe. I am not as gentle as I should be w/ my hair ...I am working on that.

 

[bhndbrwneyes]

I detangle just about every day on wet hair, 4-days a week at the very least if I reuse styles. I lose probably 30+ hairs each time but nothing ever in clumps. But none of the strands appear to be broken and I have no split ends. My hair is healthy it's just natural shedding so I don't make a big fuss over it.

And I know some of ya'll ladies are lying about 5 hairs per day when only detangling once a week.

 

[PinkSunshine77]

I no longer wash my hair lose or comb (even wide tooth) when my hair is wet. I was losing way too much hair unnecessarily and it was breakage not shedding. I detangle maybe once a week and its minimal.
