OK, here's the deal.
I condition my hair once a week.
Once finished, there's usually a mound of hair in the plughole.
No bother, I think, as shedding hair is completely normal.
Anyway, on certain occasions (like today) when I've followed the EXACT same conditioning routine as I usually do, there's NO shedding at all. Zip.
So I don't get it. How can I end up with mounds of hair in the plughole on some occasions, and end up with none on others, even though I do the same thing everytime?
Hi Luke,
It's probably just the luck of the draw. There appears to be some days when you tend to shed more than others, it probably is just related to how many hairs are ready to shed at a given time. I wouldn't say it is anything to worry about, if you feel that on average you are losing less than 100 hairs per day, and don't notice a lot of broken hairs. (Personally, I could never get away with conditioning only once a week, I have to condition after every shampoo and I also condition even on the days I don't shampoo, my hair would be too dry and subject to breakage otherwise)

...because the same thing happens to me from time to time.
One day I will get a good pile of hair and the next time I shampoo I will get virtually nothing>
By the way, sometimes you can skip the shampoo and just condition the hair. This
gives your hair a nice 'treat' once in a while: no soapy shampoo--only
some nice conditioner.
Hmm I never understood conditioner only washes. I need to shampoo to make my hair not... well oily and gross. If I just condition wont my hair be that much more...oily?
Your scalp will adjust eventually and begin producing less oil, to compensate. Right now, with all the shampooings, your scalp is probably working in overdrive to produce enough sebum for your hair. :)
I agree... That, plus: there's a rare, little-known very dwarf variety of crocodile that lives just beneath the drain screens of longhairs. Don't ever remove this drain screen, for fear of the croc. escaping and growing to full-size in your shower or bathtub. But, if you just leave him quietly be, when he's hungry, he will pull hair strands through the screen and silently munch away when you're not looking. The protein from hair strands is sufficient to keep him well-nourished yet tiny for years and years to come...
(At least this is my only explanation for the phenomena...)

Yes, be very careful about letting that Crock out. I accidentally let mine out and he is now 3 foot long and has started eating all the cat's food. Man, is my wife pissed!
She'll be really pissed when he eats the cat.
Oh, it ate the cat months ago. My wife is pissed cuz she loves her Little Friskies on Ritz crackers. That Crock is a messy eater also.
mmm... cats...
I flushed mine down the toilet, he is now wandering through the sewers of New York even though I live in Toronto. Meh, close enough...

ahh..my crock died months ago.hence why I see hairs in the drain all the time. :P
I don't have that problem with the crocs in my drain . Here, In south florida , We have various indian tribes(Miccosukees , Seminoles to name a few) that consider crocs an exquisite treat... Yummy :-P
