    Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is average/normal. Could it be that you are just noticing it more because you are growing it out and the hairs are longer? Or because you are showering/washing it more frequently due to working out?

    If not, then I agree with everyone else who says that you are undereating/deficient in some level of nutrients...

    I wash my hair every other day. I had been using the same products on my long hair that I was using on my short hair, so that may be an issue. Basically I don't think my hair was meant to be long, which is a shame.

    I haven't been eating my exercise calories because I like the rate I'm losing (about 2 pounds a week, and I'm currently 214 pounds at 5'6", down from 255 pounds). But if my health is at stake, I will definitely start eating some exercise calories.
