I am 58 years old (female) and have been letting my hair grow long – it is now past my shoulders – I have noticed a lot of hair loss when I wash my hair – is this due to the length of my and age? Thank you for your response
We generally lose about 100 hairs per day and if the hair cycle goes about 3 years, then the calculation of a 100 hairs per day is arrived at. The longer the hair is, the more detectable the hair will be as they will stick to your fingers in the shampooing process and in the drain. This goes for any age.
One lost hair on you could clog a drain and look like a handful if it is as coarse as it looks in the picture. As you know hair cycles and grows about a half inch a month. If you are 5ft tall and your hair is 5 ft long (example) then you have a ten year hair cycle and than means that all of your hair should fall out and be replaced in 10 years, one hair at a time. My great grandmother had hair length like yours when she was 110 years old, but she wore it in a bun and washed it a few times a year. It was evident that her length was far shorter than it appeared as the hair tangled and much of it never fell out.
I would need to meet you, determine what is driving you, find out if you have all of your marbles, and examine the status of your existing hair. The FUE technique is the best approach and it is your scalp hair which is correct and normal looking.
Although there’s enough political tension in the news lately to cause me to not want to delve into policy talk, I can avoid this topic fairly easily as I really have no idea about the political climate for stem cells. While it is an interesting question, I don’t even know that stem cell therapies hold the most promise to be first across the finish line in cure development. There’s

I know nothing more about the Histogen HSC (Hair Stimulating Complex) than you do by watching those videos. I do give credit to Dr. Naughton for appearing in the videos, but I always worry about market hype and speculation in such announcements. I doubt we’ll see it move through the pipeline as quickly as hoped, but we can all keep our fingers crossed that I’m wrong.
I commend you on your scientific reasoning and approach, but I must point out one flaw: human beings are not computers and can be somewhat lazy in nature. We have a hard time keeping to a set schedule no matter how simple it may look on paper. Can you remember to brush your teeth exactly at a certain time? Maybe it would be a different story on Mars, but it’s hard enough to get someone to take one pill just once a day. Compliance is the issue at hand. One more thing which may be a bit more important — the half life of finasteride is about 4 hours. To maintain a constant level, the presence of the drug will deteriorate on a minute by minute basis so you might need to actually take 0.125 mg per hour or 0.00209 mg per minute. Try that for a compliance model.
