Yes - From the heat

I'm assuming you are talking about a pet. Yes, it's because of the heat--it's a natural process so the pet has just the right amount of hair to keep the pet cool and also protect it from the heat. That's why we shouldn't shave our loved ones.

No I mean myself. I seem to be losing more hair right now. nm - PAMT

Same thing with people! - see msg

Same theory for people. If you are losing more hair than usual for this time of year, there could be a medical reason. If you are finding hair on your pillow at night in a big way, I would check out the medical thing.

I did notice that my hair grows longer faster, too, this time of year. Pores are opened up I guess or something.

I have really thick hair and the shedding always amps up during the summer months. I always figure it's because I have so much hair I might sweat to death in the summer if some of it didn't fall out (kind of like how long-haired animals shed in summer months, lol!).

BTW, kind of on the same subject, I've been using that new line of "Clear" shampoo (the pink bottle formula). I was looking for an online coupon for it and stumbled across a lot of reports from people using Clear shampoo who reported massive hair loss. Not quite sure why this shampoo would cause that reaction but I guess it wasn't an isolated case and there were multiple people reporting that side effect. Yikes.

Anyway, so if anyone is thinking of using Clear shampoo, you might want to google and read about it. Personally, I haven't noticed any more shedding than what I normally experience at this time of year.

If you are burned out on transcription and want to not sure what to do, this is the time of year when all of the insurance companies start hiring temps to do their annual HEDIS projects.  The projects last 5-6 months and pay well.  Call your local temp agencies and ask about them.  I went from transcriptionist to working on one HEDIS project in 2014, did odd jobs til the 2015 project started, was on unemployment for a few months for the first time in my life and then got hired on ...

Shedding Light On Obama's "plan"Nov 28, 2012
Never thought of this in the long term, but I can see the strategy. Anything to keep in power: "Forget that any tax increase is bad economic policy (especially in this economy), it's also a trap. The damage the passing of this tax increase would do to Republicans with their base is the primary motivation behind what Obama and the media are up to. Raising tax rates would almost certainly suppress Republican turnout in the 2014 midterms. As a result, Democrats would make gains and possibl ...

Is There Any Help For My HairMay 01, 2011
I understand as we grow older our bodies change, skin gets saggy, wrinkled, loses elasticity, etc and our hair changes.  What I'm wondering is this.  Is there a product, vitamin, or whatever that can make your hair look younger and healthier.  Growing up I had beautiful hair, soft natural curls that the hairdressers said people would die to have curls that are natural like that.  Now at 51 years old my hair is coarse, and frizzy.  I can find some curls here and ther ...

Dog HairJun 14, 2011
For those of you with dogs that shed (like my Golden), can you share you grooming schedule and favorite brush? I've used to use a rake but found a tool that's cheaper than a Furminator (sp?) and doesn't rip the skin. It's made by Oster and called a Shedzilla. I've been brushing him every couple of days but this time of year, I'm wondering if I should do it more often? I like to do it outside to keep the fur out of the house as much as possible. ...

Hair Falling OutFeb 04, 2012
I am devastated right now.  I had long, thick beautiful hair and over the past couple of months I have noticed a big change in it.  Now it is falling out!  Long strands just letting loose.  At this rate, I will be bald in a couple of weeks and that is not an exaggeration.  It doesn't even look or feel like hair.  It is shriveling up and is very light and falling out!  How and why can this happen and will it stop?  Has this happened to anyone? ...

Help - Need Hair Color FixFeb 01, 2010
A few days ago I colored my hair black.  The box said (and looked like it would be a soft black), and it turned out way blacker than I imagined (if that's possible).  I usually go brown, but the reason I went black was to try to get back to as close as my natural color while the gray is coming in.  I really didn't want to color my hair, however, between the brown I last colored it, the gray coming in, and the "soft" black that was mixed in with the gray I had too many co ...

Do You Wash Your Hair Every Day?Jul 02, 2010

I shampoo/condition my hair every day as I cannot stand the feeling of my hair being dirty or greasy-looking or whatever.
