Is Throwing Your Hair in the Garbage Safe?
That is an actual question that someone asked Yahoo! Answers years ago.
Many of the responses are somewhat amusing such as “What, you think someone is going to commit a crime, and scatter your hair everywhere? Or clone you?” and “BEWARE!!!!!! If the DNA combines with the the goodness-knows-how-many different substances there are in the garbage, the hair could turn into big, furry monsters that will try to eat people and take over the world.”
Some responses were helpful such as “Of course it is safe, hair can pose no harm and many people throw out hair everyday. yes hair has DNA but that does not make it unsafe to throw away.” and “donate it to a hair collection agency so it goes to cancer patients wigs” (if you happen to be interested in donating hair, you can read about it at http://newenglandassociates.com/blog/donate-your-long-hair/).
It is normal for some hair to fall out every day. Unfortunately many of us find ourselves having to discard more and more hair from the shower drain or from our pillows. This can be downright depressing as it becomes noticeable that our hair is thinning or we start to see bald spots open up.
There are many reasons for more hair than normal to fall out such as nutrition, lifestyle, aging and other body changes, genetics, and medications and medical conditions.
The good news is that there many options that can help stop further hair loss as well as get hair back. New England Associates® has been helping people with hair loss since 1982, utilizing every method that has been proven successful. The best first step is to find out why that extra hair is showing up in the drain or on the pillows. We do this through a free consultation in which we take a very close look at every portion of the scalp and hair under a super-powerful microscope.
Once we determine the reason for these extra hairs falling out, we can help you decide which solution would be best for you and your circumstances and lifestyle and budget.
Set-up a no-strings-attached consultation so you can find out what we can do to help you stop throwing away more and more hair. If you can’t make it in person to a New England Associates® location, you can order our HairStart® products that have been scientifically-proven to help stop hair loss at HairStartOnline.com.
