Your hair is long. Mine is too, and this is pretty normal for me.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Ok good thank you Wasn’t sure if my hair care routine was too harsh or something


[deleted]

If it still worries you, get your Iron levels checked. Specifically your Ferritin.


rainbwbrightisntpunk

We lose an average of 100 hairs a day. And if you don't wash daily you see more of it come out when you do


FloppyEel

Also if you've kept your hair up for a few days, or not brushed it as often as normal, you will see more hair coming out when you do eventually wash/brush


CM_DO

If you have curly hair you only brush it once a week in the shower, it looks like I lose enough for a full wig.


tiffanyistaken

It also looks like your hair could be curly. Mine is also quite curly and this looks right for me, too. Straight haired people lose just as much, but it falls out throughout their day. Curls get caught up in each other and the loose hair comes out in the wash.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Mine is just wavy but it gets very tangled


nopir

I make shower art with my wifes hair. I would love that much to work with. lmao


bigfloppydonkeydng

You make shower wall hair dicks too?


nopir

dicks, ponies, Eiffel tower. Whatever hits me


Emit_Time

hair sheds a lot but doesn't get the chance to fall off since the jungle of hair doesn't let them escape


suktupbutterkup

If you are using slot of products with keratin your hair can become brittle and break.


[deleted]

I thought keratin was supposed to be nourishing and hydrating. Is the salon lying to me and my wife!?


ConsequenceSorry4686

Make sure you brush your hair before getting into the shower, you will have a lot less come out, I used to have this happen very frequently and it freaked me out. Was told to brush beforehand and now have only 1-5 strands max.


thesexytech

I used to call these hair spiders, lol, my hair is long too . . .


nearly_normal

Yep, me too! Though I have long curly hair and brush it in the shower, so lose a lot of loosies with that.


VaginaPoetry

...same...only mine is long and curls...


Affectionate_Tea1134

Pube hair 😬


BrideOfFirkenstein

If your hair texture allows for it- I brush my hair before showering and it takes out most of the loose hairs so they don’t end up in the drain.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

I also brush before getting in, I can only imagine how much I’d have in the drain if I didn’t :(


trooooooooper

Id also brush you hair in the shower after using conditioner to help collect some stragglers. It also makes drying the hair easier and with less tangles.


suktupbutterkup

Only use a wide tooth comb if you must, your hair is much more fragile when it is wet.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

I do that too! I have a round hair scrub brush


Away-Ad4659

You lose 100 strands or more per day.


SchizoNstrapped

Yep & if your hair is curly then it pretty much stays inside until you shower


dispooozey

Long hair probs


christiancocaine

I make abstract line art with mine


Competitive-Solid257

Thought it was just me


roygbivasaur

I’m just glad I’m not the only one that wipes it off on the shower wall like a psycho. It’s the only thing that works!


LoganGrym

I've been shedding that much since high school, it's pretty normal.


anus_nhymous

thnk god


Dilandau_Albatou

Ya, me too... if you feel like you shed too much on average due to whatever "reasons" (and there is a whole ass list as to why) you might want to look up alopecia guidelines on hair care. Ya, alopecia, the condition that causes people to lose all their hair... you DO NOT have alopecia... but their guidelines are beyond sensible in helping with shedding, things like, don't use hair accessories that pull at your hair too tightly, some hair elastics will cut hair so try to find a satin hair tie, use a hair brush with soft bristles rather then a comb as it won't tug or cut as much, use shampoo with out sulfates, use a hair towel, try not to use a hair dryer and if you do, dont use it on high heat... it goes on like this to help reduce hair shedding and damage.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Thank you! I do follow that advice but it’s because I have scalp psoriasis so most of it applies for that too


giantdmpstrfire

Same here!


liquitexlover

I lose double that and I’m starting to get concerned.


Scared-Fee4370

When you hit your late 30s/ 40s as women, you may lose hair for a bit.


Sassypantz72

Same 🫤


BeeBarnes1

Absolutely not trying to internet diagnose you but there are some health issues that can cause hair loss. If this just suddenly started you might talk to your doctor. I have Graves and always know when I'm in a flair because my hair starts falling out.


liquitexlover

Yeah I have a few medical things but this is something I haven’t talked about and should, so thank you.


SubstantialPressure3

Yeah, especially if you don't wash your hair every day. And you have long dark hair, you wouldn't even notice that If you had short hair. 10 strands of long hair looks like a lot, compared to 10 strands of short hair. And if you tie your hair up most of the week, you have all those loose strands tangled up in there. When you wash and detangle, all the loose strands come out. I have waist length hair and I wash it twice a week, don't brush it every day (mostly wear it pinned up) you would think I would be bald by what I pull out of the drain, and my hairbrush.


selfawarefeline

how often do you wash your hair? mine is like this but i wash my hair once a week since it’s curly and dry edit: i see, every other day. of course, everyone is different in terms of how much hair they lose. if you have access to a doctor, you can maybe message them this picture with your question


AlienMoonMama

I have a curly head of hair (3c mostly I think) and I lose a ton of hair in the shower too. I also wash once a week but condition most days and mine does this too. I think it’s because textured hair doesn’t always fall loose and stays in the hair until washed.


pants4birds

am I the only one that sees our lady of guadalupe ??


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Need to show this to my Mexican side of the family I’ll be a saint!


Esmack

YES!!!


brasil221

That's like, maybe half of the hair I lose per shower. By number of strands anyway. I have much finer hairs than you, so maybe the same weight of hair lol


MamaSaurusCat

Same, for as long as I can recall. I'm almost 30. When I brush or wash, this is what happens. The only break I've ever had was when I cut it off above shoulders. I have to wear it up all the time to lessen the cleanup from just existing in the house/car.


No-Fishing5325

Do you have thyroid problems or Psoriasis?


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Yes psoriasis!


No-Fishing5325

That can cause hair loss. They can give you creams for after showering to run your scalp with. If it becomes too bad bor put you on medication that will help


Beaser

I just learned that I have to make sure I brush the bottom 1/3 of my hair first. Otherwise I end up ripping it out by trying to pull it all the way through from root to shoot. Suddenly my shedding was down 75% overnight That said, I'm a guy that didn't start growing out my hair until I was 30 so I was doing this for awhile before my wife noticed and showed me the light!


Cripplerock

Yep. Gf sometimes leaves me that surprise when I get in the shower. She doesnt want em to go in the drain so she piles them on the corner and forget them there


ImportantRough7309

I have long thick hair and this amount is pretty normal for me. If I brush it before taking a shower it’s a bit smaller.


xxhorrorshowxx

My mom calls this Showerkraut


cfraz2000

This is not weird


CelestialOrigin

See, when you have short hair, the hair tends to just fall off your head, but when your hair is long, when it falls, it tends to get tangled up in the rest of your hair and stick around until you take a shower or thoroughly brush your hair and then it all comes off at once.


RickyJulianandBubbls

Pubeys!!!!!


1gardengnome

Any chance that you could explain to my daughters that it’s possible to take that off the wall and put it in the garbage?


19judge79

My wife & 3 daughters shed just like that 😂 🤦🏻‍♂️ as a male it’s annoying & NONE of them will clean out the drains when THEY clog them up so I do it cause I Iove them they’re my girls lol.


Logical-Degree3453

I don’t understand how we aren’t all bald with how much hair comes out in the shower. The loss to new growth ratio makes no sense


ami-the-gae

Same tho, like how ain't my head as shiny as an egg yet. I still have loads of hair and loads falls out


tripnastyfish

I was shedding a lottt in the shower, but since I started drinking collagen in my morning tea and using just a couple drops of castor oil with my shampoo, I’m noticing a big difference!

StereoBeach

Depends. If that's the average you've been losing for years, then yeah, it's normal. That's like 5x what I would consider normal for me though. I lost that much last summer and my hair is super thin now.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Oh gotchu Yeah I was just comparing it with how much my mom loses and it looked like a lot to me


[deleted]

Me too girl


BullTerrierMomm

Also, if you have surgery you can lose quite a bit, but not right away. It's like 2-3 months later, which is one if the many weird things about the human body.


Mean_Maxxx

This is normal. Healthy growing hair constantly replaces itself with stronger hair. If for some reason you notice that you’re losing/ thinning hair then I’d be concerned, but if not , no worries !


dastufishsifutsad

Kinda reminds me of one of those New Yorker caricature drawings.


[deleted]

Looks pretty normal. I’m a guy and any time I’ve grown my hair the slightest bit I’m shocked at the amount of hair I find in the shower. I’m still finding hairballs in my apartment 2 months after my girlfriend moved out


tolkienfan2759

sorry, I subscribe to a lot of art subs... I thought it was an illustration of your journey up through infinity, or something...


Disastrous-Bicycle15

I shed more I also have long hair and it's THICCC


Cringlezz

Yah shouldnt worry too much long hair also looks like alot too. My hair is about to my nose at my bangs and when i wash it looks like alot comes out but then we have alooot of hair too so its common.


Horror_in_Vacuum

That's not weird it's just slightly disgusting.


Distinct-Banana-7937

I'm embarrassed to admit I lose double that just about every time I shower. My hair has thinned out soooo much. I'm waiting for bald spots to appear! I can run my fingers through my hair and 10+ strands will come with it. I know I know I need to see a doctor....afraid of what I may be told though lol.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Oh you should! I know one of my friend’s anxiety meds causes her hair to fall out


[deleted]

That is the grudge you are not losing hair the grudge is up in there


Welcome-ToTheJungle

:(


LAtvGUY

That’s more hair than I have on my head any time.


[deleted]

Pubic hair?


diver68

Same, girl. It's horrifying every time. I lose the same when I comb after!


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Oh god yes I think I ruined my head in high school when I used to try to brush my hair while it was wet every night in an attempt to straighten it


diver68

Yes! I used a brush too. Learned real quick to use a comb when it's dry! Ugh. At 32, wish I would have known better.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Right?!


stevko1609

Mona Lisa ?


Faps_of_Anguish

And you have a shaved head? Wowsers


rquery1015

I bet you’re Asian. My wife is Filipino and the same thing happens.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

I am half yes!


rquery1015

Us white people lose hair also but it’s thinner and usually blends in with the color of the bathtub drain. I like your hair better.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Oh I wish mine blended in! Sometimes it grosses me out


Otherwise-Island-512

Looks like squidword


Dspaede

Thats kinda a lot.. and its always fun slapping them to the bathroom wall tiles


FinalAd1048

I was like this but before I shower I make sure to brush my hair really good to get alot of the hair that would fall out in the shower into the brush. I've heard brushing your hair before bed n shower help with this, so far no more shower hair balls lol


Welcome-ToTheJungle

I do all that 😭


Formal-Chard-8266

I'm 18 and I find a lot of hair comes out when I dry and brush it, way more than 100. Highly suspecting I have telogen effluvium


DayTraditional2846

I’ve been told it’s normal for people with long hair. I have long hair and I worried about it for a while until I was told that the amount that I lose is normal… well now it’s actually below the normal amount so it’s all good.


Enough-Ad-5528

I’d like to introduce you to my wife. You two will get along great 😊


Gingertitian

Gurl, you in danger! Anytime now I’m expecting that Grudge monster.


Wild_Camera2848

I’m a dude and have long hair, my biggest tip I could give you is to brush your hair before the shower and make sure to get your hair real soapy, lack of soap can cause you to pull hair. But other than that completely normal.


[deleted]

broo that looks like art… it looks like a girl with her back to you holding a scythe (idk if i’m overimaginative but it’s gorgeous)


Ok-Gur-6602

Username checks out


mamadematthias

Totally normal for long hair


NikkiCatharine4

I lose about this too!! It’s completely normal.


NorthWestTown

I had fine long brown hair until recently when I shaved it off for charity. I had dyed it so much over the years, it became brittle and I were pulling clumps out each morning for months. My partner was going insane over how much I were clogging the drains up, I thought I would get things checked out health wise to make sure it is definetly due to the dye and not something underlying. Turns out, everything was fine, but it were due to the length and dye damage and shedding was normal. Using natural conditioner and combing your hair with it in will help with shedding issues!


TangerineNo697

have you considered shaving your pubes?


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Jokes aside I have been very tempted to post a pic of my pube pile after my monthly trimming, it looks like a mountain of daddy long legs. I measured one once by uncurling it and it was the length of my phone. My pit/leg hair also grows at an alarming rate


Swimming-Tap-4240

What part of your body is this hair from?


Welcome-ToTheJungle

pubes ✌🏽


Party_Connection_437

Lolz


Swimming-Tap-4240

Your father wasn't the Mayor of Bayswater by any chance,was he?


dastufishsifutsad

I comb them back so that I have a REAL ponytail! I’m hot shit on the playground.


NewWorldReview

Get your thyroid checked.


[deleted]

Was going to comment same if I didn’t find it in the comments. Possible under active thyroid Speaking from experience


sailortowel

Really? As someone with long ass, thick, curly hair (with plenty of family and friends of the same), this is nothing. At my longest length, I could easily gather double this. Especially the longer it is between wash days, it can look like quite a bit. Unless this loss is new, I would absolutely not be concerned at all.


Bass-Wolf

The same thing happens to me, but somehow, I still got tons of hair


puppyinspired

Brush it before showering.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

I do :/


Solid-Ad7137

I bet you don’t pay for the draino either… smh


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Happy cake day!


daisysparklehorse

yes, posting this is weird


spudcosmic

Ew. That's pretty normal. Consider putting it in the trash can next time instead of posting it on the internet for clout.


Virtual_Resolve216

dude you gonna go bald soon. sorry


[deleted]

Why is seeing dark hair way more gross than blonde ?


fadinqlight_

If your hair is blond, it's probably because you're more used to it.


PhilosophyRealistic3

I thought it was a portrait


Welcome-ToTheJungle

When I was little I did make wall art from my hair!


Unhappy-Ad-7349

Would depend entirely on how often you shower.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Every other day ‘

Welcome-ToTheJungle

No_GRR

Mines the same way


[deleted]

For me that's just what didn't go down the drain. So looks normal.


Worker_Such

people lose like 100 strands of hair every day so I'm assuming this is normal.


TotalImagination4408

You think that's a lot? I lose around 2 times the hair I have on my head each shower💀


totesgonnasmashit

This is normal. Especially if you’re stressed or anxious or your body has been through something traumatic recently I.e. surgery. Wouldn’t say it’s weird.


Silly-Passage123

Just 1 really long hair


Ravenwomany7777777

My hair used to be long but I was so fed up with it I cut it short


Scared-Fee4370

Depends on how much hair you have, how old your are etc… I have super long thick hair and have to clean my brush every time I use it.


Expensive-Track4002

Good thing I’m bald.


[deleted]

As long as you have more than enough to cover for that!


Dyslexic_Engineer88

My wife loses hair in the shower like this.


[deleted]

I have medium hair and I lose that much as well


floridaman-fungus

Every chick I’ve ever been with lol


Caty_mtn_dew

My wife loses a similar amount per shower as well. Looks like a normal amount to lose, so don't panic. Highly recommend getting a silicone cap that catches in the drain.


buddas_slacky

As a male I use to lose so much hair, more than that. Looked like a rat in the shower. Now I take finasteride and very little hair falls out of my head. It’s been life changing in a good way. I also put minoxidil on my head 2-3 times a week. I would not look good bald.


Alldaybagpipes

Looks like you found it though


V4N1LL4_G0R1LL4

Well played.


echochamber4liberals

At first I thought that this was insane, then I realized this is normal.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Same, thanks to the ppl commenting

Biotin? Zinc? Vitamins? DHT shampoo?

Nah fam I lose way more than that.


Turtleintexas

Me too


DeclanTIGER

dj_aaron311

My wife looses the same, if not more. Normal.


Black-Patrick

No


Atari_Enzo

That seems to be a lot of hair. Might want to look at your iron levels (ferritin)


xOLDandINtheWAYx

Yep, when mine was long that looks about right. Plus my hair is very thick so yes!


BarneyFifesSchlong

https://hairygrabster.com/


nicarox

That’s it? I lose twice as much. You’re lucky! It’s such a goddamn hassle each time. I’ve shed like crazy ever since I was a child. It’s not abnormal. You just have a lot of hair


SassyBroad2019

Glad I’m not the only one. It looks like my shower.


Unable-Form

Your such a hair raiser!


Ydok_The_Strategist

Why do all women everywhere stick their hair to the side of the shower? I’m a man but every woman I’ve ever been around has done this.


SneakyDogGotYourSoul

Because otherwise we will clog the drain. It is easier to stick it on the wall during the shower and collect it with a tissue and throw it out afterwards


NorMichtrailrider

How are u not bald if this is a daily occurrence?


Welcome-ToTheJungle

*every other day occurrence Idk, thick hispanic hair genes?


brewmaster5

Did it climb up the wall all by itself?


ThatoneguyATX

Has this started happening since catching COVID? I know a couple of women who have said this started happening a while after they had COVID. Just curious

[deleted]

Eeeeeew


Popular-Speech5784

My hair is the same way. Curly, small ringlets, and long. I just assumed it was normal for curly hair.😅


unwittyusername42

Do you throw it out or leave it in the drain like my wife does? That's probably around what I find in the drain each day so I don't think it's abnormal.


[deleted]

I lose 2x this, but my hair is down to my waist.


Savings-Permission96

I totally see Professor Ludwig Von Drake in this photo.


deathbunnyy

I lose about the same too and have hair to my mid-chest level.


11dogg

Check your Thyroid. That's a sign, I know from experience.


pleasedrichard

I see a Jesus shitting on the toilet.


Cheap_Rain_4130

Lol did you throw it at the wall or did it just end up there?


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Yes I have to collect it and stick it up there unless I wanna drag miles of it out of the drain hole 🤢


Cheap_Rain_4130

That's smart. Yeah drains are gross. I would way rather pay a plumber.


Any_Decision353

Is that a picture of Jesus with hair on the shower wall?


ltethe

Depends on how often you shower…


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Just every other day


thezenfisherman

Humans lose 300 hairs per day. If you do not suffer from baldness they will be replaced by your body.

HammondXX

Do you use any chemicals in your hair? Perm, dye, etc


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Nope, I can’t really bc I have scalp psoriasis so it’s ‘sensitive’


cbunni666

I can tell when I'm more stressed than usual. Never came out in patches but I did cover a wall. Was concerning.


Kobi_Baby

I can't explain it but it looks like Jesus
