Since late last year I’m shedding so much hair! I have long thick hair - I think in fairly good condition. But so much is coming out when I wash it - we had to get a plumber out before Christmas because the hair had blocked the shower drainage - despite using hair traps. My clothes constantly have loose hairs on them - I’m getting really self conscious about it.
This morning in the shower I combed the conditioner through with my fingers and clumps of hair came out. I got quite a shock!
I’m peri menopausal and I have been under massive stress recently ( very ill partner, in hospital for a month, now has very limited mobility and in pain ( from being fully independent in November). I work full time in the NHS and am pretty much a full time carer now.
My diet is fairly ok- balanced,mostly cook from scratch. Drink alcohol rarely.
Any suggestions to slow down the hair loss? Is it a peri thing?
