Is it Hair Malting Season?

My hair seems to be falling out strand by strand. I keep finding it everywhere. Even hubby has complained about finding my hair just about everywhere. Including in the fridge (hmm go figure how it got there).
Is anyone else experiencing this with the colder weather?

    Personally I also seem to lose a lot of hair have hair fall all over the house, especially in Summer Time as it seems to grow more.

    Asked my hairdresser regarding this subject and she said it was quite normal for some people to have hair fall. The only time that you need to worry is if your hairline is receding, and you are starting to get bald patches.

    Thankfully I haven’t had to worry about it anymore.

      That is reassuring Margi59. I think I notice it more because I have long (dyed) dark hair. I just have to vacuum more often.

    I seem to shed hair all year round

    My hair is always doing this! But I think it gets worse in winter. My partner says I’m like a golden retriever leaving hair everywhere

    Malting season? My hair seems to shed all year. I think because it’s so much longer now I notice it more

      Yes my hair also loses strands in Summer too Indie but more noticeable in Winter when I wear a dark cardy lol.

      My hair also sheds no matter what time of year it is. It has calmed down somewhat for the moment though.

      Hmmm. Maybe that`s my problem IndieAna. I have long dark hair so it does standout.

    I find I lose hair in winter a lot. I only had a haircut over a week ago and still it falls out. I have thick hair anyways, so it doesn’t bother me. I think my hubby saying, you have strands of your hair on your jacket that bothers me more. :-/

    I had my thyroid levels checked a couple of months ago and they were all within normal range. Thankfully, I haven’t had any thyroid issues however I do have a slight hormonal imbalance so I wonder if hair malting can be a symptom.

      That`s a good thought Belle88. I definitely have a hormone imbalance & I don`t need to have mine checked to find out. hehe

    Me too! It’s so frustratimg! I had a decent hair cut a couple of weeks ago and it has made no difference.

    Mine too

    We’ve all got a shedding cycle; sometimes it seems worse than at other times. If you’re concerned, cityglenda, mention it to your doctor. I’ve got thyroid disease & I sometimes shed excessively if my levels are out of whack.

      Good advice misfortune8. I just had a blood test and I need to go back to my GP for the results. I`ll ask about that.

    Lol. I don’t know about the colder weather, I’m always shedding.
    I have a dog and there is more of my hair around the house and in the car.
