Why does my hair fall out when i wash it?

Question

Mujhe lagta hai jab main baal dhota hoon, tabhi sabse zyada girte hain. My scalp feels a bit itchy sometimes too. Could washing my hair too often or too little be the problem?

I totally get it, that feeling of dread when you see so much hair in the drain! It's often just the loose hairs coming out all at once because washing makes them slippery. But if it's excessive, like literal clumps every time, it might be worth checking your diet or stress levels.

Dude, same! My mom always says it's normal to lose some hair when you wash, especially if you have long hair and don't comb daily. It's just the hair that was already gonna fall out. Just don't scrub too hard, that's what I learned.

Vivek Goyal · Answer

A certain amount of hair fall during washing is considered normal, as dormant hairs shed. However, if it's significant or recent, consider if you've had high stress, dietary changes, or a new product. A quick chat with a dermatologist can clear up doubts efficiently.

Our body goes through cycles, and hair fall is a natural part of that. When you wash, the weaker strands release. Focus on reducing stress with gentle breathing exercises; sometimes tension affects hair health. Also, make sure your shampoo is mild and natural.

Please, please don't just ignore it. I ignored persistent back pain for months, thinking it was just work stress, and it became much worse. Hair fall can also be a signal from your body. Get a proper checkup, especially thyroid and vitamin levels. It’s better to know early.
