@abbeyyung: Sometimes your shower wall can be deceiving compared to what you see on the internet… Reference photos to visualize the number of hairs you’re shedding can be helpful in some situations, but cause unnecessary panic in others. In doing all of my research for the hair serum series that I’m working on, I kept seeing this reference photo pop up. At first glance, that photo makes it look like I’m experiencing *much* more severe shedding than I really am. And that made me realize how much stress photos like that might cause someone who is googling hair shedding to get some answers about their own. When in doubt, you can always count your hairs in the shower for an accurate number, but either way… always see a dermatologist for concerns related to excessive shedding. I hope this eases some of your worries if you feel like your shedding looks scarier in the shower as it grows longer! It’s way too easy to convince yourself that your hair is falling out once you start paying attention to it… References: 10.7860/JCDR/2015/15219.6492 https://doi.org/10.1111/dth.12415 #shedding #hairloss #hairshedding #hairgrowth
