Hey, I’m a bit worried and just want to know if this is normal or not.
I have shoulder-length curly hair and I usually wash it every 3–4 days. Today I noticed I’m losing a lot of hair when I detangle it.
In the shower, a lot of hair came out and most of it literally went down the drain (see pic), so I can’t even fully count it—but I’d say it was around double what’s shown. On top of that, I also lose hair when I brush it after taking my ponytail out, and more when I dry it.
It feels like a lot at once, but I’m not sure if it’s just normal shedding because I don’t wash my hair daily and it all comes out on wash days.
I don’t notice any bald spots or thinning, but seeing this much hair at once makes me a bit anxious.
Is this normal for curly hair / wash day shedding or should I be concerned?
