Daily shedding naturally varies

The number of hairs you shed is not the same every day. The day you wash after a few days off, for example, looks heavier because loose hairs have built up.

Routine and environment

A busy month, poor sleep, fasting, long travel or a change of weather can affect your care habits and scalp. Read about hot, humid weather.

Watch the trend, not one day

Use monthly photos to compare density. One bad day does not mean ongoing thinning.

When to act

If heavy shedding continues for several months or more scalp is showing, get it checked. Patchy loss should go to a doctor.
