Hair Falling Out When Towel Drying — Am I Being Paranoid? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I was wondering. When some of my hair falls out when I’m drying it with a towel, I notice some hair strands are thicker than others. Is that a sign of miniturization? Or am I just paranoid?

Hairs normally fall out at a rate of about 100/day, more when you wash your hair. The hairs that fall out as part of the normal hair cycle are usually normal thickness hairs, but if you lose a miniaturized hair, say goodbye to it, for it may not come back.

  1. If you say more hairs fall out when showering, what if we only showered once a month (theoretically)? Also, if we have relatively long hair, should we be towel drying it vigorously, pat dry it, or allow it to air dry?
