Do you suffer from hair fall? DO I?

Is “hair fall” loss of hair, or is it flat hair? Or is it something else entirely that I didn’t even know I have to worry about if I want to properly strive for the beauty myth? Is hair fall the new cankles?

OOH! A helpful asterisk! This Dove shampoo is for “hairfall* prone hair (*due to breakage).”  So my original guess that hair fall meant “flat hair” seems to be incorrect.

I feel sorry for the fine-haired expats who come here, pick up the anti-hair-fall shampoo and conditioner hoping it will approximate what we call “volumizing” products back home, and find it is THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

Meanwhile, I ignored these confusing labels and went straight for the purple shampoo, because I got blonde highlights and sometimes when I catch my reflection in the elevator mirror I think, “My hair is orange! What have I done!?!?!?!”  Although most of the time I really like it, and I definitely look forward to my next color appointment when I can get even more blonde in there.
