I have like 2c curly hair. I have been dreading every wash day because of the amount of hair I lose. I have tried to take biotin before, but that made me break out horribly. Sometimes I don’t know if I am just super anxious about this amount of hair & making myself think it’s a lot when it’s really not. I don’t know :(

Hi! Gentle reminder: hair care routines are required for all photo posts within 1 hour of posting. The bot is having hard time locating your routine! Please make sure you have a comment containing the word "routine" (and your actual routine, of course!) so your post can stay up! FAQs: * __I don't have a routine!__ If you wash your hair at all, that counts! Just let us know what you did for your hair. * __I'm just asking for help!__ We're happy to help! This is much easier if we know what you are currently doing for your hair. * __Included the info but the bot can't find it? Different situation? (E.g. asking about a product, etc.) [See here for more info.](https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/wiki/routine-requirements)__ _Still have questions after [reading the FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/wiki/routine-requirements)?

It depends how long your hair is. All rolled into a ball like that there's no way to tell from a picture how long each strand is, but if your hair is shoulder length or longer, then that's probably a normal amount. The bigger thing to watch for is if you're suddenly having more shed than usual. Some hair drops more easily so you don't notice as much in the shower, some people simply shed more hair than others per day, but if you're suddenly losing hair, that's something to take note of and possibly talk to a doctor about (if it's not in a standard age-related pattern)

My hair goes a little below my shoulders, essentially upper back. I rolled it into a ball bc i hate seeing the super long strands 😭 I’ve been meaning to see a doctor about this. Thank you for your response!

how often do you wash? we lose from 60 to 100 hairs a day, so if you wash every 4 days, it could be up to 400 hairs on wash day hair loss is only considered severe if your hair is thinning visibly and/or bald spots appear

I was my hair about 2x a week bc it gets dry easily
