Beauty Tip of the Day:

Why does my hair fall out in the shower?

You can expect to shed up to 100 hairs per day as part of the natural hair-renewal process. While you will not shed 100 hairs all at once, many become tangled with other hairs or get held in place by styling products.
... Brushing and shampooing releases all of the lost hairs at one time, which may lead you to believe that your hair is falling out when you wash it. For most people, however, the hair left behind in the drain is all part of the natural process and nothing to be concerned about.

Please send us YOUR beauty questions.

Thanks, Gene.
