Do you shed a lot? šŸ¤”

Yes, I have half the hair I had just 10 years ago. I have to clean out my hair screen after each shower.
Not clumps but enough to block it up to a slow drain. I take vitamins, and it did slow it down and new
hair comes in quicker so it's hard not to have those shorter fly away hairs at times. I find them on my
sweaters especially because of the material catching them more than a T-shirt.
 
Yes I shed a lot..Iā€™ve got long hair and I find the hairs everywhere. On my clothes, on my rug, in the vehicles, down the drain. And yes I shed my than my dogs. My husband shaves his head so none of his hairs are found cause he doesnā€™t have any. Lol šŸ˜‚
 
Yes, but I think my hair problems are chemo-related. First, my hair did not start growing back in until a year after chemo was done. It is a different color. It is a different - I dunno what it's called -- texture. It is very fine and not curly. It is very thin and I just got some hair covers from amazon so it won't fall out over food. Yesterday I noticed a thick strand of several hairs is dark brown. I have never had brown hair in my life. My parents had dark brown hair. Their 3 children had mid to dark blonde hair (like ash blonde, I think). Anyway, the entire hair after chemo thing is weird.

I'm about to start microneedling treatment. And eventually I will succumb to wearing a wig. In 9th grade, wigs were all the rage in Louisville, KY. Half the girls wore wigs. I swore then I would never do that. And now, I'm currently wondering if people can tell it's a wig, if people try pulling it off for a joke, and if it is worth paying $900+ for a human hair wig. I would like a wig that no one can tell is a wig.

It's not just hair. Cancer treatment ages people. This is a freaking unfortunate fact. If you saw my photo in early 2020 compared to late 2021, you would think I wasn't the same person. I don't go out in public often because of my appearance. Maybe I can get a head transplant. The rest of me, I can't complain about. It is normal. The head though, needs to go or get fixed.

My ex and my brother wear a toupet. These things are fabulous. Nobody sees it and nowadays these wigs are even better.
 
Oh yes. I shed so much. There have been so many times that when I sweep up my hair I say, "If I didn't know better, I would think I was a cat". I know cats shed a lot!

I donā€™t, hardly at all!

Granted, I keep my hair fairly short, but even so I never see strands on my clothing or in the
bathroom. I have to clean my brushes every few weeks, but thatā€™s really it.

My hairdresser frequently comments on how thick my hair is and how fast it grows. Itā€™s salt and pepper gray now, and I expected as it grayed the texture would change but itā€™s still soft and silky.

I take a lot of supplements, none specifically for hair, but several include hair strength as part of the description so I wonder if that helped. On the other hand, both parents had thick hair even in old age, so it may be genetic. Or a combination of both things.

Ron keeps his head shaved, though I do occasionally find beard hair in the sink! šŸ˜‰
 
Not really.. but enough to make me glad I no longer need the vacuum cleaner I'd been using because I bought a Shop-vac.

Previously, with most of my apartment carpeted, I had to stop vacuuming every few minutes and clean/cut hair out of the vacuum.
