Yeah, how does this happen?

People should google "shampoo hair loss lawsuit" and see for yourself. Dozens are settled for 7-8 digit sums just in the last few years and many on going.

I gotta say since I started cutting my hair super short and only washing it with water and unscented organic soap it has entirely stopped falling out. Nothing has grown back but still. It's not all genes.

Genes and hats. And I mean like wearing hats 99% of the time. Your hair and scalp need oxygen.

That sounds like a myth. I had a friend who lost his hair in his early 20es. People told him it's because he was wearing hats most of the time. Another friend lost his hair at the same time and was never wearing a hat. I still have most of my hair at 40 and i wear a lot of hats and always have.

Like a rubber hat? I also doubt that the hair itself "needs oxygen" so much that a tissu will prevent the dead thing to like look ok?

I'd say genes and too much cleaning away fats and stuff from the scalp.

Possibly too much washing and shampoo. Washing your hair too much can be damaging to your hair.

That what I’ve told all my girlfriends. They’ve all said I have beautiful eyelashes and they want to know if I do anything to them.

I have literally never touched an eyelash besides wiping one out of my eye.

When I had shoulder length hair, I washed it with head and shoulders every other day and never got split ends.

Now some of that is probably genetics, but also I do think that so many beauty products that women are sold is designed to keep them buying shit to “fix” things that their body will eventually fix on its own. Humans didn’t evolve washing their hair with 3 different soaps every day. Hair just kind of takes care of itself, and the only thing that might need fixing is dandruff.

It is 99% genetics

Can confirm, don't do anything special to my hair, look like a Maybelline commercial

My ex was always fascinated with how soft my hair was compared to hers and generally in good condition. She refused to believe I didn't use any product as from an all in one shampoo.

Meanwhile, she dyed her hair once a month and had an entire shelf of different products that were supposed to give her volume, bounce and spring while enhancing the color. Some days I swear her hair smelt like spray paint and felt like sand paper.

Edit: some English

Meanwhile, she died

My god

her hair

Oh, a typo

Oh my God we're having a fire...sale

Same. However, I started using Redken shampoo and conditioner and that shit is amazing. It costs over $100 but lasts me forever and makes my hair so nice. But I only use it every few days.
