What Info Can Be Gathered from Fallen Hairs Found in the Bath?

Hi.

May I ask, is there anything to be gathered from the quality of hairs I find in the bath after washing my hair?

I have always noticed quite a lot of hair floating on the top of the bath. My mum has the same problem and we both have thick, coarse hair. There’s about 100 hairs after every bath, but it has been like that for as long as I can remember. Some of the hairs in the bath are thinner/finer than others. Does this support the idea that my hair is miniaturizing?

100-150 hairs lost each day is considered normal, but if they’re all coming out in the bath at once that might be a little much. Do you wear a hat all day and trap in the hairs that would normally fall out during the hair cycling process?

If you are concerned about hair loss, please see a doctor. I cannot possibly diagnose or understand your hair loss issue from 100 thin hairs in the bath water. The only info you can gather is that hair is falling out, either from genetic loss or just normal hair cycling.
