Need advice on long hair?

My hair is thick and is almost down to halfway to my waist. I seem to shed a lot of hair (My husband says I shed like an animal getting his winter or summer coat) When I comb my hair I clean my brush several times. Is this natural? what can I use to stop the excess shedding. By the way I am a blonde.

Blondes do actually usually have more hair, but it can be finer than brunettes. It is normal to lose 100 to 150 hairs per day, and will look like a lot if your hair is long. But more hair starts growing too, so things remain even. The best thing you can do is eat healthy, drink water, and use a gentle brush or wide toothed comb so you don't put too much harsh pressure on your scalp.

I have the same problem, i have super long hair too probably around your hair length and i shed so much too. When i brush my hair, when i wash my hair, pretty much when i do anything with it. I don't know if it is normal or not lol but my boyfriend always jokes around with me about it too.

The reason you seem to shed is because when you have long strands of hair, you can see it more and it gets all over. If someone with short hair sheds, there isn't as much of it. Long hair is great, vacuum a lot and purchase some granulated draino for the tub drain, but if you have kids be careful to keep it put up where they could never get hold of it!

don't worry. I have EXACTLY the same problem. I have the same length of hair, I'm blonde, and I have medium thick hair. every time I shower, there will be like a big wad of hair in the drain. It's SO annoying! But I think it is just natural, or atleast that's what I've heard...and it just happens if you have long thick hair. It is natural and apparently an average girl loses about 100 strands of hair a day....we have about a million! And I think they grow back...so don't worry! :)

when i am stressed, i lose more hair.

my hair is about your length and i can brush my hand through my hair and about 15-20 hairs come out when i'm stressed.

when i'm not stressed, i can brush my hand through my hair and about 1-5 hairs come out.

big difference i know, but i am easily stressed. :[[
