Im approaching the menopause and Im sure my hair is thinning a bit. It seems finer also and there are about 6-8 hairs that come loose after hair washing or styling. Do I have hair loss???? If so what can I do about it.

you are supposed to lose 100 hairs a day if you are losing more than that it is hair loss
really no i mean it happens to most people depends on the genes in your family. but sooner or later yes hair loss can happen to you or the color of your hair will chage due to the cells dying out. but um having hair color may also help and also reduce age look
when hair is lossing i know there some thing out there that will help hair grow back.
well blondes loose about 145 a day
brunettes a little less
dark a little less than brunettes

i’m 15 and i would say i lose …. around 15 each time i shower. i have to rub them into little hairballs in my palms and then flush them down the toilet when im out, otherwise i keep breaking our drains lol.
more than ~100 hairs per day!
6 – 8 hairs a day is not significant. However if this is a change from what is normal to you there are things you can do. I am a 44 year old woman and am peri-menopausal. I began losing a significant amount of hair each morning when I showered. I don’t know how many but I know it was a change from what was normal for me. I began taking Macafem (maca root), biotin, and MSM supllements, and I switched to Organix coconut milk shampoo and conditioner. Once a week I do a pure coconut oil treatment on my hair (leave oil on for one hour & wash out) I started these changes about a month ago and have noticed a decrease in hair loss and also have new hair growth. Hope this helps
