My hair loss stats:

seem to always be losing hair- for the past 10 years of my not quite mid-20 something life!

Ponytail diameter: 1.5cm :-(

Daily Loss: between 50-100 over the day (at the higher end on a wash day..)

Do people find they lose more when they use conditioner? I read this somewhere, I am thinking of experimenting and (gasp!) going without conditioner

I think the conditioner question has sort of a catch-22 answer. If I use it, it means more contact with my hair in the shower, so I lose more hair. But then it's less knotty, so I feel like like I lose a bit less when I comb it out afterwards. I try to use just a little, and never apply it to the roots.

I just tried to measure my ponytail, but I have waves and layers, so I couldn't do it, LOL.

I lose more than 100 hairs daily, at least twice that when I wash it. But everyone loses different amounts!
