Please can someone who is safely out the other side tell me how long the hair loss phase lasts?
My hair has been coming out in handfuls for about six weeks now. Every time I brush it, the brush almost disappears under the fluff, and each time I run my fingers through I get 2 or 3 hairs. I lose tons in the shower and find piles more in my bed every morning.
I'm not really worried as I have very thick hair and there is plenty more. But I am starting to get a bit fed up with it.
The main problem is that my OH has an absolute pathological disgust of other people's hair cast-offs. He is constantly picking at my clothes and tutting loudly when he finds hairs in the bathroom or God forbid, the kitchen. So I am becoming paranoid and having to go round frantically cleaning all the time.
Also my OH has said that he thinks my hair is losing its shine a bit. This is a bit of an issue as my lustrous shiny hair has always been one of my best features (one of my only good points until I lost the weight) and I am not keen to give that up.
So please can anyone reassure me how long does this phase last? And is there anything specific that I can do to stop it?
