Regular Member FuriousGeorge Posted July 30, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 I've noticed after styling my hair with American Crew Fiber (thick paste that really helps thicken up my hair) that I count ~10 or so strands of hair in my hand daily. I know the typical response is "you lose hair every day" and there isn't sure method for proving if it is really loss or not. Just wanted to throw it out there to compare experiences. I'm a NW 4 and have been on the mighty Fin for 3 years and haven't seen any major receding (yes, I measure it from my brow ridge occasionally), so I would opt that is just the natural hair lifecycle - but then again, cognitive dissonance is a b**ch. Any advice or thoughts are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ciaus Posted July 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) You should be alright https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/hair-loss/insider/shedding It’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. When the body sheds significantly more hairs every day, a person has excessive hair shedding. The medical term for this condition is telogen effluvium. Excessive hair shedding is common in people who have experienced one the following stressors: Lost 20 pounds or more Given birth Experiencing lots of stress (caring for a loved one who is sick, going through a divorce, losing a job) Had high fever Undergone an operation Recovering from an illness, especially if it included high fever Stopped taking birth-control pills Get back on the pill FuriousGeorge and report back again!

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 31, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2020 The fiber crew is thick, and can cause you to pull out more hair. I switched to a cream pomade, and have no issues. It may be the crew fiber, though I’ll say it’s a good product. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
