How come I'm not bald?

Heya Reinydawn, I so know where you are coming from. I too have really thick and quite long hair. I have always wondered how I can pull handfuls of hair from my head when I'm washing it or brushing it and not be bald. My hair does grow pretty fast but it seems unfathomable that it can grow that fast! Im seriously talking at least 3 handfuls of hair every day and its been going this way since i was like 16 and I still seem to have the same amount of hair. Weird! Tanika.

My wife has wonderful hair but it is everywhere, too. It has to do with the chemical makeup of being a women. Your hormones affect hair loss much differently than it does men. Your body continues to grow new hair folicles just like a child much longer than if you were a man. Be thankful. You could be bald. You don't want that.

Supposedly, on average hair grows about a half of an inch a month.They say it can vary a little depending on age,health,genetics and such.That doesn't seem like much. I know exactly what you mean.I have to clean it from the drain catch when I wash it. But,I also seem to lose it every where else.I have long hair.It's not exacly thin,either. We vaccum our carpet and furniture often.Some of the reason is because my hair gets all over.Sometimes I wonder who sheds more, me or the dog.You will even find my hair in the van. My grandkids love grandma's hair.It's not enough that it ends every place on it's own.The grandkids are always rubbing my hair and end up with strands in their hands; and on their blankies.LOL! I can't explain how I still have so much hair still. At the average rate of growth, it doesn't seem logical.
