Losing hair

[judecorp]

So "they" say that the average woman loses 100 hairs per day. And a postpartum woman can lose up to 500 hairs per day!

But my question is this... why don't the GREY ones ever fall out??!???!?

i lost hair all over my head, but mostly in giant patches. having male pattern baldness does nothing for my self esteem.

You're the hottest male pattern baldness chick I know!

When does the balding commence? I haven't started shedding yet...

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Usually somewhere around 12-14 weeks.

[sassywoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd like to know why that is as well. Bleh.

I keep scouring the shower drain for ONE grey hair, and there never are any!!

[ladygreyy.livejournal.com]

Because they have special brain digging skills, just like the white ones. It's extra hard to pull the white ones!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh, those white wiry ones are the wackiest!!

[ladygreyy.livejournal.com]

They should study those for people with hair loss issues, see what's different!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Totally!

[marshmelococoa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no kidding.

And why can't the leg hairs fall out and never come back? Talk about simplifying.

[aminahfiddler.livejournal.com]

Or the arm pit hair.

[marshmelococoa.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, that too, for sure!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I could go for that.

Eh, leg hair's kind of fun. When you wear shorts, you can feel the breeze tickling the little hairs...

I shave every day of the year because I hate leg hair. I suppose if I could get it to the point of being long and soft I might tolerate it but I hate regrowth prickly and much prefer smooooooooooth legs. I don't even care what other people think about them, I can't stand when they rub together with stubble. *shudder*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, stubble's bad. You need the long hairs. :)

[marshmelococoa.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I could ever get past the stubble to get to the long hairs.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

In the winter when you wear heavy pants and don't feel the stubble as much?

[marshmelococoa.livejournal.com]

It still rubs my pants and gives me that heebie jeebie feeling. And I take showers and lay in bed with bare legs. It's just ick.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess you'll never find out, then!!

[marshmelococoa.livejournal.com]

I know. It's just one of those very weird things about me. I hate hairy legs on me.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm totally glad I knew about it, too. It's so much less now that I cut my hair off, but it was coming out in clumps practically and I had to clean the shower drain multiple times per shower. Of course, I'm sure it was exacerbated by not taking a shower every day, but still, it was MAJORLY falling out.

It seems to have slowed down some, although it could just be the short hair.
