Hair Shedding

The saying goes, we lose about 100 hairs a day. A pretty common phrase. But if you were given the follow up question, “When do we lose hair the most?” You might say, in the hotter months, we shed in the summer. That sounds about right, doesn’t it? Don’t be fooled.

Not to be compared with our canine friends or feline foes, who shed profusely on our couches and even the air we breathe. We are unlike our furry counterparts, who shed due to the heat. Us humans shed our hair because of a very bright star. Human hair is grown prominently on the head versus any other part of the body. That is to protect us from the sun. Like an organic hat made to protect us from those harmful UV rays, it’s a blessing that we haven’t evolved out of yet, thankfully. Around this time of the year, a lot of us go through what is called the Autumnal Shed. Usually between October and December. We lose these hairs because of the lack of sunlight. You might find a few strands
on your shirt or your desk chair. This is a normal process that most people deal with depending on their hair type, for example, those with longer, thicker hair will tend to shed more. I like to call this the FALL-icle loss. As common as it is, it is not to be confused with acute hair loss.

Acute hair loss will show up as large clumps of hair on your pillow, in the shower, or even in your hand. Your hair brush might be fuller than usual. If you are experiencing these abnormal amounts, please make sure to contact your doctor or dermatologist for further information, especially if accompanied by weight loss, fever, or changes in mood. Do you often awaken in shame and despair to see that your pillow is covered with hair? Ought what not to be there? To combat the shed, trust in our product line, Zenagen Revolve for men and women.
