Hair shedding is a natural part of the hair growth cycle, but it can be concerning when it becomes excessive. Understanding why your hair sheds and how to manage it effectively is key to maintaining healthy, strong hair. In this blog, we’ll dive into the basics of hair shedding, what’s considered normal, and how the Fermented Rice and Rose Protein Ritual can help strengthen your hair and reduce breakage.
What is Hair Shedding?
Hair shedding is a normal process where hair strands fall out as part of the hair growth cycle. On average, it’s normal to shed between 50 to 100 hairs a day. This is part of the natural renewal process of your hair, where old hairs make way for new growth. However, when shedding exceeds this range, it might be a sign of excessive hair shedding or breakage, which can lead to noticeable thinning and other concerns.
Why Is My Hair Shedding So Much?
There are several reasons why you might notice increased hair shedding. Stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medical conditions can all contribute to excessive hair shedding. Additionally, harsh chemical treatments, heat styling, and high tension styles can weaken the hair, leading to more breakage and shedding.
How Much Hair Shedding is Normal?
As mentioned, shedding between 50 to 100 hairs daily is considered normal. If you notice more hair than usual in your brush, on your pillow, or in the shower drain, it may be a sign that your hair is shedding more than average. However, it’s important to distinguish between shedding and breakage. Hair that breaks due to damage may also appear as shedding, but it’s not the same as the natural shedding process.

If you’re dealing with excessive hair shedding, it’s important to first address any underlying causes, such as stress or nutritional deficiencies. Additionally, incorporating the right hair care products into your routine can make a significant difference.

What Should You Not Do When Your Hair is Shedding?
When your hair is shedding excessively, it’s important to avoid practices that can exacerbate the problem. Here’s what you should not do:

- Limit Heat Styling: Excessive use of heat styling tools can lead to further damage and breakage, worsening hair shedding.
How Long Will My Hair Shedding Last?
The duration of hair shedding can vary depending on the cause. Temporary shedding, such as that caused by stress or hormonal changes, may last a few months before normalizing. In cases related to medical conditions or chronic stress, shedding may persist until the underlying issue is addressed.If your hair shedding is the result of breakage, the consistent use of protein treatments, such as the Fermented Rice and Rose Ritual, can help fortify the hair and prevent the breakage.

Will My Hair Ever Stop Shedding?
Hair shedding is a natural process and will never stop completely. However, excessive shedding should subside once the root cause is identified and treated. By adopting a proper hair care routine, and addressing any underlying health issues, you can significantly reduce the amount of hair you shed.
How Do I Stop Excessive Shedding?
To stop excessive shedding, start by evaluating your hair care practices and overall health:
- Strengthen Your Hair: Incorporate strengthening treatments like the Fermented Rice and Rose Ritual to fortify your hair and reduce breakage.
- Maintain a Healthy Scalp: A healthy scalp is crucial for reducing shedding. Ensure your scalp is clean and well-nourished with products that promote scalp health.
- Manage Stress: Since stress is a major factor in hair shedding, finding ways to manage it can help reduce shedding. Practices like regular exercise, meditation, and adequate sleep can make a big difference.
- Proper Nutrition: Make sure you’re consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair health, such as biotin, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.
