Hair Loss.
7 Answers
I am a 45 year old woman who has been losing hair by the handfull for the last 26 years, if I even run my fingers through my hair it falls onto my shoulders.My hair still looks healthy and full but when I ask friends and family they always say they don`t lose any, only the odd few. Is anyone out there in my situation. This is really getting me down as I don`t know if this is normal or not.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have always had loads of thick long curly hair since a nipper, I am now 36 and have also lost hair by the handfull each day since mid teens, If I brush it it comes out even more - I have just accepted this as normal for my hair as it never looks any "smaller" for my daily hair loss.
If yours is the same ie thick and full I really wouldnt worry about it that much, my Dad used to say that our hair is like Dogs coats - after all there are loads of different breads and some moult more than others! Not perhaps a comforting analogy but true non the less !

Im the same. Apparently if your hair is thick and long then you will notice it a lot more. Im 34 and mines been like that since I was about 20. After the birth of m son i was amazed i wasnt bald with the amount that just came away in handfuls then.
As long as you havnt got any bald patches and your hair still looks normal then its probably just natural loss.
Of course, if in doubt speak to your GP.
