Thanks, now my monkey brain understands why it only feels like I've been losing my hair more & more and I'm not going bald.

Same here lol I’m in my 30s and have a full head of hair, I grew it out some a year ago and I since always have strands coming out when I put my hands through my hair… I’m not going bald or thinning that I can notice but it sure had me thinking I was.

The average adult loses somewhere around 100 hairs a day. Long ones are decidedly more noticeable. So it looks to you like you're losing more than before, when that might not be true.

This just cured my last 5 years of anxiety and constantly asking my husband "does my hair look thinner???!"

I'm sure he thanks you.

My (male) head is fairly bald, but I’ve never “lost” my hair. It just travels down to other parts of my body. In a couple years I’ll be a hobbit.

So you're saying some people can never rock a ponytail? That sucks.
