I often hear from people who are noticing a lot of hair falling out every time they brush, comb, wash, style, or generally manipulate it. Recently, I heard from a woman who said, in part: "It seems like every time I brush my hair, more and more strands come out. I honestly think I could brush all day and with each stroke, more hair would come out no matter how much has already fallen. Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?" I will address these concerns in the following article.
Unless You're Pulling Extremely Hard, Hair That Comes Out In Your Brush Is Hair That Was Already In The Resting Or Shedding Phase: Sometimes, people in this situation will tell me that brushing their hair causes so much panic due to the amount that is coming out. People often tell me that they don't even want to groom their hair anymore for the fear that doing so in going to make their hair thin.
The thing is, hair that comes out with gentle manipulation like brushing, washing, or styling was already in the resting or shedding phase. Hair that is actively growing takes an awful lot to make it come out. You have to pull or tug hair with at least some force to pull it out. Brushing usually does not give rise to this kind of tugging.
If you have any doubt, you can look at the end of the fallen hair shaft. If hair has been pulled out while it was still in the growing cycle, you'll still see the sheath around the follicle. This is generally dark and noticeable. But, if hair was in the shedding and resting phase and was manipulated out, you'll generally see a white bulb at the end instead of the sheath. This tells you that your hairs are potentially prematurely going into the resting phase rather than being pulled out by the brushing. You can see what I mean by comparing a shed hair with one that you have pulled out.
Conditions That Cause Hair To Prematurely Go Into The Resting Phase Or To Shed Out: So, if you've determined that your strands aren't being pulled out, then that leaves them falling out due to something else. Much of the time, this is due to your hair cycles being sped up by a variety of reasons. Sometimes, there's a shedding or hair loss condition like telogen effluvium (TE), androgenic alopecia (AGA,) or some medical condition or change.
These condition can cause more hairs than normal to go into the falling out phase or for the phases of your hair to be accelerated. So what can you do about this? You can identify which hair loss condition you have and then treat it. Sometimes, the hair loss is temporary like when your body is healing from illness or stress. And, some people have some minor seasonal shedding. But sometimes, treatment is needed to slow or treat this accelerated loss.
In the meantime, you can try to be gentle with your hair when you comb or style it. Sometimes, using a wide tooth comb or a brush designed for thinning or curly hair can spare some strands. And, it can help to hold your hair at the base (like you are putting it in a ponytail) and brushing it this way. This minimizes some of the pulling and tugging.
How do I know this? Because I lived it. I knew that the amount of daily hair that was falling out while brushing was too much for me. I knew that my hair was gradually thinning. But many assured me that everything was normal while my hair continued to thin. In the end, it was a stylist and not a doctor who helped me discover what was wrong.
