Why Does More Hair Come Out in the Shower?
Hi
I searched your blog and read that it’s alright to wash my hair every day and washing gently does not increase hair loss. I’m in a hairloss support group for women and so many of us are afraid to wash our hair because we see so much shedding with each hair wash. It’s depressing and can really get to us.
Would you kindly explain why there is so much more visible shedding during hair wash and the gentle managing/drying of it after the wash?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
The washing action will bring out those hairs that would have probably fallen out on their own in the wind or when you do other things throughout the day. Washing will not bring out any more hair than the normal cycling would have brought out on their own.
Dear Consumers Considering Investing a Significant amount of your life savings on Hair Growth systems:
Hair Loss is both a physically & emotionally stressful thing, so therefore, do not make any decision to participate in any program (usually in excess of $10K & the upwards of $15-20K) without sleeping on it.
In addition to that, research the group you are choosing to go with thoroughly as well as any complaints against that group. If after getting a written explanation of the money-back guarantee offered that you feel comfortable with, insist on paying with credit card. Often, consumers are left ompletely unprotected because not only did they pay up front, but they paid with a check; that money was gone & there may have very well not been a guarantee.
Even if you have to pay a service fee, insist on paying with credit card; if the vendor says that you can’t or does not easily say yes to this, be a huge skeptic. There is a reason they want you to pay in cash & that reason is the above consumer’s story.
Also, fully exhaust all of your other resources before making such a huge investment. Were you fully committed to the Minoxidil hair loss systems? Did you have blood work done to test hormone levels? Did you work for several months with a dermatologist to address the issue (hair loss can be caused my a multitude of factors)? Did you try a great Hair Loss system out there (Nioxin) which also uses a 3-part shampoo, conditioner & treatment system, includes vitamins, follicle boosters, etc. Have you tried a $300 – $600 at-home laser treatments (most also offer money-back guarantees) first before shelling over so much money?
Unless you can answer yes to each of these questions & unless you have really done all of these things for at least a year, you have not really tried to address the problem in a more reasonable way nor have you exhausted your options. Also, beware of the picture & videos of consumers claiming success; often their hair is simply longer than it was before, it is being viewed at a different angle, or there is actually styling product holding the hair up to make it look like there is more of it (females, play especially close attention).
