I am a hairdresser who has recently started battling COPD which has been stressful causing hair loss . I am a male but it effects all genders . I can tell you COPD has limited my shampooing to once a week and this causes me to think I am losing more than normal because on a normal week I shampooed once a day which allowed me not to notice a huge amount at once . Have you changed the amount of time you shampoo ? We naturally shed a certain amount daily . Blessings

Hello Gregoryz, I was a hairdresser for about 30 years. With that said, I am very sorry about your hair loss, but I am wondering if you have been tested for a very rare disease called Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis, PAP for short. and Thesaurosis Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, aka Hairdresser Lung. My symptoms were shortness of breath, low o2, and coughing a lot. I am sure these diseases are running ramped in our industry, I have a low thyroid so my hair does fall out on occasion. I had a lung biopsy at the Mayo in Arizona where they found polymers of hairspray in bedded in my lung . I can go on and on sorry .
I wish you all the best,
Sincerely,
