Why Is Your Hair Shedding More Than It Used To?

Hair shedding is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. But when more follicles than usual enter the resting phase, you may notice extra hair in your brush, shower, or on your pillow.

Stress, illness, hormonal changes, rapid weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies can all disrupt this cycle. Often, the increased shedding doesn't appear until two or three months after the triggering event.

The important distinction is that shedding and permanent hair loss aren't necessarily the same thing. Understanding what's disrupting your hair's growth cycle can help you choose the right approach to supporting healthy hair.

When Your Hair Starts Shedding Faster Than It Grows

Finding more hair in your brush or shower can be unsettling, especially when your hair begins to look noticeably thinner.

Excessive shedding often occurs when the normal hair growth cycle is disrupted. While many follicles eventually return to their growth phase, ongoing stress, inadequate nutrition, hormonal changes, and other biological factors may continue to affect hair growth and quality.

Because excessive shedding can have several underlying causes, identifying and addressing those triggers is also an important part of supporting healthy hair.
