OK so I posted the other day about hair loss. Well, I've done some of my own "testing" and it seems I only get a hand full of hair when I have it curly or when it is wet. When I have my hair straight I just get a couple of strands a day which I know is normal. So could it just be that my hair is weak due to the products when I wear it curly and it is weak when wet?

I have more hair that falls out when I don't blow-dry my hair. Is this how you wear your hair straight? I think it's because when you blow-dry a lot of hairs that would naturally come out during the day just come out while you blow-dry.

The average person loses about 100 hairs/day. After a shower, the follicles have been stimulated and are more likely to release the hairs that need to be released. I am almost certain that even when you have dry hair that you are losing more than 2 a day and you just aren't noticing.
