Shedding Hair All Over the House!

snowbunny · 12-18-2003, 12:15 PM

I'm shedding a lot of hair lately. It gets everywhere - all over the house. In the bed, in the carpet, in the couch, on the bathroom floor, there was even a huge clump of it on my peace lily.

Soooo, short of wearing a hairnet day in and day out, what do I do about the massive quanitities of randomly shed hair? It's gross. My poor BF comes away waith huge clumps of it on his clothes. It's everywhere.

I don't know if there is much you can do about it. I have really long blonde hair and have the same problem. My biggest issue with it is when I brush my hair or take shower, but it is still all over my house. I just vacuum & sweep often to keep it off the floors. Sorry I wasn't much help......I just wanted you to know you are not alone!

I definitely have the same problem. I don't want to wear a hairnet...UGH!

The other day, I scraped up a big wad of my hair that had fallen into the hallway that leads to my bathroom. I know I hadn't vacuumed there in awhile, but this was almost as big as a basketball! I took it to show my DH and DS and said calmly with dry, ironic humor, (although I was crying inside),"I think that this proves that I am definitely losing my hair, don't you think?"

You should have seen their eyes practically pop out of their heads when they saw that big hairball! They looked so funny!

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

I have to pick off little wadded balls of my hair off of the clean clothes after they get out of the dryer...and I thought there wasn't that much hair shed on my clothes when I popped them in the washer, but apparently there was.

I really need to get mine trimmed because I keep clogging the bathtub drain.

It's so depressing. I can sympathize with you, dear cyster.

I can sympathise with you. I have also been losing massive amounts of hair. I went from having really thick hair in June and now I have thin hair. So far it doesn't look bad but it is a little upsetting. I have started using Nioxin shampoo and Nioxin Folicle Booster and both seem to be helping. I'm not sheding near as much and I think I am even starting to get some new growth.

Ive been having the same problem. We have light carpeting and it makes my carpet look dirty unless im sweeping daily.
