Hair in the hairbrush

Everyone says the same thing about me. I can walk and my hair will fall out. It's a little thin, but it always has been. How funny! I bet I could make a wig too. Maybe we can start a wig shop.

When My Hair Was long hairs would come loose, I guess it's from brushing my hair with my fingers, etc. My husband also like to play with my hair, pulling it.. so it may be from that too. I have split ends, so it could be that too.

you know in Victorian times they saved the hair and made jewelry out of it... http://www.victorianhairjewelry.com/victorianhairwork.html http://www.hairworksociety.org/ http://www.victorianhairartists.com/

i laughed at the last part ha hehehe dolls wigs...anyway, ur not alone in that..i too have the same predicament but i try to avoid that from happening by using comb instead of brush. also i use conditioner so that it soften my hair. :)

It's probably a question of perspective. Everyone loses a percentage of their hair every day, and if you have grown your hair you have more, so it follows there's more to lose. Also, if the hairs are longer, they're more noticeable in the brush, so I don't think you need to worry - just make sure your shower drain doesn't get blocked up. The main thing is, your hair is healthy.

If it doesn't seem to be thinning out, I wouldn't worry. It is normal to lose a certain amount of hair, and especially if you have longer hair you will notice more what arrives in the hairbrush! I had a problem with hair loss, to the point of small bald patches, for a while, and it was quite scary as it was coming out in handfuls sometimes and I wondered if I was going to lose it all. I found out it was related to my diabetes and a huge amount of stress I'd been going through at the time - now it is still a little thinner, but luckily I had really thick hair to start with and it is behaving pretty normally now!

Doesn't it make you wonder sometimes :) We have 3 girls in our family and we all have long hair and my husband always says we could dress a person in the hair off the brushes sometimes. I am always saying that I am wondering when we are going to wake up bald.

You could send it my way. Ever since I had my last child my hair has begun to get very thin. I really hate it because I used to have really thick naturally curly hair, now I constantly trying to style it in a way that does not show how thin it is getting. My hair is still reasonably long, but getting thin on top, not something a woman wants to experience.

Might be a great way to supplement your income Canellita!! Of course you could always put it in a brown paper bag and save it just in case you should find yourself going bald and then you could have a wig made for yourself, (I think that is the way I would go)!!! Actually the average person looses approximately 100 to 150 hairs per day from brushing, running their fingers through it etc. which isn't all that much considering it is old hair ready to come out and the average person has somewhere around 100,000 hairs on their head. So obviously while you are loosing the 100 to 150, new hairs are growing in all of the time to replace the lost ones...HOPEFULLY!!! You said that it looks like so much hair since your hair was growing out a bit now which is very normal because the length creates an optical illusion of more and many times the hair might actually be wound around a few bristles a few times making it appear more. So Chin Up, I'm pretty sure you won't be needing a wig for a while yet!

[i]Hello canellita, well i must say that you are really very frustrated with those falling hair.Have you started treating them? are you going to any doctor or dermatologist? Well i can give you few suggestions at home to be done if you want. You can mix some olive oil, almond oil, and castor oil together. Castor oil should be in 10 to 20 drops only as it is very sticky and thick.You can massage this slowly into your hair and scalp.I bet you will soon have great hair.You can wash it off the next morning if you put it before going to bed. But dont forget to put your shower cap before you sleep or the bed and the covers will be oil stained. [/i]

I think the longer your hair the more hair will be in the hairbrush. If my hair is short I do not get much in my hairbrush. Sometimes I let it grow a little long and there is a little more. It is normal thing to lose some of your hair everyday everyone does.

well yes,sometimes when we have a lot of problems or under stress most likely we experiences hair loss or bad hair day.well i hair brush may hair not often times because have tendency to fall out some of my hair.i brush once then fix it with my fingers and i put little gel on it.

Hi Canellita! In that we're the same. I have a thick mane and everytime i took a shower a handful of hair will be at the bathroom floor and the hairbrush, well cleaning it is becoming a major problem! But I got a tip from a television show how to clean the hairbrush... according to it, before using the hairbrush put a piece of used stockings to it, so after brushing you can easily remove the stocking along with the loose hairs and also the hair can be used as fertilizer!

Oh my gosh i felt the same way except for i thought it was a hair care product i used that made it fall out. I used to get so upset over seeing how much hair was in my brush but i eventually got over it.

i cant even fatheum when i look at the hairbrush at the end of the day as well... i cant see the difference in my head but what i see in the brush seems like it would have left a bald spot on my head!! Doll hair that would be a good use for it... my younger daugter once used it to make a birds nest ! LOL of course it didnt last long, LOL

There are many medical reasons your hair may be coming out that way. There are other reasons that are not medical. For example: Thyroid problems, health issues, stress, puberty, menopause, pregnancy are some of the medical reasons although there may be others. Non-medical examples include: Type of hair brush, over brushing, hair dyes, hair dryers or high heat, perms, type of shampoo or conditioner. There are things you can do. Have your doctor determine the healthiness of your hair. Lower the heat level of your hair dryer or curling iron. Clean out hair brush often. Change shampoo and conditioner to see if there is different result. Avoid perming and dying the hair too often. Make sure hair accessories are not too tight or pulling on hair. Do not brush hair when it is wet. As for making doll wigs, that is a possibility. It is a creative idea for recycling. Go for it.

Every time I brush my hair and comb my hair I notice too their is a lot hairs left on my comb. Thus,it worries me and then I learn it is only naturals as the hair fall to be replace by new hairs. It only becomes a problem when one suffered from extreme hair loss due to alopecia which is a hair condition which could makes any genders susceptible to it by means of hereditary or through environmental defects which may be the reasons the hair is falling.

...Hi Canellita, Your posting is interesting. I am not sure how much hair a person normally loses in a day, and I would think that all of us are different. You do mention that your hair is healthy and that you have a lot of it, but you might just have a slight vitamin deficiency of some kind. I might just mention it to your doctor and see what he or she thinks. Is your energy level still the same? If it is, the amount of hair loss might just be new hair coming in and old hair leaving. Take care.

good gawd you and my wife should get together and make dolls lmao! everytime she showers it looks as if she murdered a wookie. Ive hade to call the plumber several times to remove the hair plugs. I told here to save up the hair and donate it to a wig company lmao!

lol well this disscussion is a good one because it happens to me to like when u put my hair in a bun or if i scrunch my hair and put jell moose and hair spray in it. Mine does that lol but to tell u the truth about the doll wigs that weould be a very good idea u really should do it and see how it looks.
