What to do if your hair is shedding more than usual
There are plenty of completely normal reasons why your hair is shedding—in fact, it's part of the hair cycle for hair to fall out. It would be weird if none of your hair every fell out. But when you start to notice lots of strands clogging up your shower or coming out when you brush your hair, it can be alarming.
But when you start noticing a lot more hair in the shower, or your hair comes out easily with just gentle pressure, you may be experiencing excess shedding. "Another common reason for excess hair fall is hormonal changes, particularly in women," Burg adds."These can happen with pregnancy, childbirth, a change in contraceptive pill, or during menopause. The change in hormones can affect the way hair grows by shortening the growth part of the hair cycle, leading to increased fall." But don't panic: he says this is completely reversible.
