Goodbye , my long hair

Philippines
September 9, 2026 6:51pm CST
Its been days or weeks since the last time I created a discussion . Our country is strucked by storms and floods , I cant do anything during those days , we cleaned everything inside the house after flood of mud and everything, we are all tired but we are safe. Thanks God. I was able to go out of the house yesterday morning and I went to the salon for a hair cut.The business part of our place is trying their best to bounce back after the storm and flood but still its limited for now. When I was staring at the mirror and saw my hair was being cut , I felt some kind of relief, my head felt light .. Im not sure if its just me but everytime I grew my hair , I always have falling hairs. Everytime I comb my hair, there are lose strands on my comb, thats why I decided to cut it , shoulder length for now. Any lotters here who experienced hair fall? What did you do to prevent it?

Good to know you are safe. My hair is also the same, I always try to have a trim because when ti grows long, it becomes dull and I had a lot of falling hair

Same here, I think regular trims really help. Once my hair gets too long, it starts looking rough!

I am glad you and your family are safe after all that flooding. It must have been exhausting cleaning up afterwards. I can understand why getting a haircut felt like a little fresh start too. Shoulder length sounds like a good choice, especially if long hair was becoming difficult to manage. I have noticed that hair fall can be frustrating, especially when you see all those strands on the comb!

@iKONICNoona You are welcome! I am glad you are all safe. Hopefully the biotin helps with the hair fall too. Sometimes a fresh haircut and a little extra care can make a big difference.

You might try a OTC Biotin supplement to your day. Always clear those things with your doctor, but it helped my sister with her hair. It was wise to cut your hair to shoulder length. It will give it more body.

What a relief it must be to be out again and not being flooded. It is normal and healthy to lose about 100 strands of hair each day. The place on your scalp where the hairs grow out of will push out the old hair strand to let the new come out. So losing the hairs is all normal.

My hair seems to be falling out more than it should. I don't know what to do about it. I'm sorry to hear you were affected by the flooding.

@JudyEv Hi maam , I got a little scared at first thats why I did some reading and research and I found out that its really normal to have falling hair and I foubd out too that there are hair vitamins and supplements to take to help keep your hair strands strong but have an expert's opinion first before taking them. As to the flood thank God the storm has passed and the rain stopped too and same goes with the flooda.

Glad to hear you and your family are safe after all that flood and mud, that sounds so exhausting to clean up. A fresh haircut after a rough week sounds like exactly what you needed, bet it feels nice and light now. I get hair fall too sometimes, for me its usually stress or not enough sleep that makes it worse.
