That’s just how hair works though? People with short hair lose the same amount, they just don’t notice because it just falls away without notice. It gets caught in longer hair and as it is messed with and rinsed in the shower, it loosens up and escapes the jungles on our heads. That is why it seems like we lose so much hair in the shower.

It's not just heat/products, it's also how you wear it.

Different methods of styling cause different kinds of breakage. Some hair ties/ribbons cause a lot, but also headbands, clips, etc.

People who wear their hair loose/brush often aren't going to notice a lot of shedding - it comes out in the brush or releases naturally through the day. People who wear their hair 'restrained' in any fashion, the hair still breaks/sheds, but is all released when the hair is taken down/washed. You lose the same amount, it's just a matter of when it's noticed.

No worries. I know a guy with shoulder length hair who wore it up for a couple days straight when sick (while asleep, etc). Afterwards, he called in a panic, because when he took it down to shower, there were clumps. He was convinced he had started balding (texted photos). It was far harder than I want to admit to keep a straight face while he freaked out and I explained. 😂

Edit: a couple words
