Many people say that hair loss occurs when they wash their hair. After research, it is found that the amount of hair loss is also different. Some women lose less hair, while some lose a lot of hair. I have heard before that hair loss is inevitable when you wash your hair, but I don’t know how much hair loss is considered normal?

As the old saying goes: old hair doesn't get rid of new ones, and hair also has its own metabolic function. Experts say that healthy hair has a service life of about a year. In other words, the more sensitive hair will fall behind, and new and energetic hair will continue to grow.

At this time, you need to consider replacing shampoo. It is recommended to choose a silicone-free shampoo with a softer material.

Hair may fall out with just a touch when washing your hair. Fourth: Be sure to use hair conditioner after washing your hair.

A small amount of hair loss is actually a normal metabolic state of hair, so you should pay more attention when washing your hair. If it is a slight hair loss, don't worry. But if you lose a lot of hair, you need to pay attention and improve it. The simple thing is to start by replacing shampoos. Be sure to choose shampoos that do not contain silicone oil and irritating ingredients.
