Tips for female hair loss

I hope this is an ever-evolving list with other women adding their own suggestions that have helped them. These are a few that have helped me stop focusing on my hair loss and just live a more normal life.

1. Be positive and keep hope. Everyone's hair loss situation is very different, and your situation may actually be telogen leakage caused by some type of stressful event, or possibly temporary hair loss due to a hormonal change. If this is not the case, you need to stay positive even on the down days. Believe that there is the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.

2. Suction A LOT. I think the vacuum is the best ally of hair loss sufferers. Vacuuming frequently will help you avoid seeing your hair everywhere. The less hair I see on the floor or counters, the better I feel, even if I shed a lot. If you constantly see your hair, it is just a frequent reminder of your suffering and does not allow you to concentrate on other things (at least that is how it is for me).

3. Get rid of your Shower Drain Hair Catcher. I'll wait while you throw it away. That thing is evil! Counting your hair is one of the cruelest forms of self-torture. It's my own fault.

4. Invest in a sticky roller brush. Before I leave the house, I make sure I've given myself another shot with the sticky roller brushes designed to pick up pet hair (I even have one in the car). I do this because I would prefer to take the hair off my own clothes instead of forcing the person I'm with to take it off my back for me. UGHH. I hate that. If I was having a good day, this would ruin it for me. I once had a friend I was traveling with tell me how much hair I shed...gee thanks. This was early in my hair loss and she had no idea I was losing my hair, but it certainly put a damper on my day. I also had another person tell me I was shedding like a cat. I think you know how the rest of my day went after a comment like that.
