This will be a very random post but the thought just occurred to me. Whenever I run my fingers through my hair I always notice strands of hair all over my hands. I shed my hair quite a lot and have done so all my life. I was conditioned to thinking this was normal and attributed to stress, diet, or that it's simply normal for our hair to shed a lot. But could it be even simpler than that? Is there something in our shampoo products that is causing our hair to fall out?
