r/Hair_Loss_Treatments

I am experiencing really bad hairloss from past month or so and on some research I found that dirty scalp can be one of the culprits. Apparantly, we are not able to clean our hair with our hands alone.

So I am thinking of buying this thing but I am a bit skeptical, I don't want to tug on my roots and be aggresive. Do you think this does a good job at cleaning or should I simply switch my shampoo. Currently I am using Olaplex No. 4

I had a major surgery end of October and it triggered TE end of February, really bad, started taking loads of vitamins and supplements and seem to get better in March and then started shedding like mad in April, I had the fabulous idea of buying a hair growth serum and shampoo. My hair was waist length. I used the serum Saturday 11th and the day after the shampoo, don’t know what happened but my hair ended up in a knotted matted mass, I couldn’t detangle it, two friends tried for 3 days and I ended up having to cut it all off. I’m devastated, the shedding seems to have stopped but my left me with little thin, uneven hair. Can’t stop crying when I see my reflection in a mirror, wake up at 4am with palpitations, nightmares thinking the rest of my hair will fall out. How do you cope with this? I’m having a really bad time. Pictures of before during and after

I’m trying to figure out a sane routine for combing and styling that makes less hair come out. For me, brushing and finishing my hair after a shower is when most of it falls, and then I barely lose anything for the rest of the day.

I’ve read that you’re only bringing forward hairs that were already going to fall soon anyway, but it still feels bad in the moment. I also worry that if I comb less, all the shed hairs just build up and then fall later, which makes it look like way more loss even if it’s the same total.

Do most of you just keep combing and brushing like normal, or have you changed your routine because of hair loss? Are there specific tools or techniques that help you feel like you’re not ripping half your scalp out every time you style?

I have been using a prewash oil treatment regularly. I mostly eat healthy and try to take 8 hours of sleep. I also try and workout atleast four times in a week.

It has been almost a month now, my hair won't stop shedding and it keeps getting worse. I am thinking of visiting a dermatologist soon but some of my friends told me that I am being paranoid and this much hair loss is normal, especially after hairwash. BUT, is it normal???
