I hope that my response will prove to be of some assistance to you.
Reflect on the initial instance when you experienced disgust in response to your hair falling out. What circumstances were present at the time? Who was present?
What was the content of the auditory stimulus that was perceived at that time? What were the thoughts that were generated in response to that stimulus?
Upon observation of this phenomenon, will any insights be gained?
It is this author's recommendation that the following course of action be pursued:
1. Return to the initial incident that evoked the emotion, identify the source of the feeling, identify any limiting beliefs that may be influencing the situation, and gain a deeper understanding of the underlying factors.
As previously stated, it is essential to identify the specific event or incident that initially led to the formation of this association. Upon examination, it becomes evident that the perception of falling hair as a source of disgust is not an arbitrary or baseless sentiment. Rather, it is the result of a particular experience or occurrence that has shaped this association.
It is only as a result of one's prior experiences that one forms the association between hair loss and disgust. Once this association is made, one's feelings about hair loss are shaped by it. However, upon reflection, one can discern the underlying restrictive beliefs that shape one's feelings about hair loss. These beliefs are not objectively supported by facts, as there is no objective evidence that hair loss is inherently disgusting. In fact, the belief that hair loss is disgusting is an unreasonable one.
It is important to recognize that beliefs and thoughts are not facts. As individuals, we have the capacity to shape our thoughts and beliefs, and thus, our experiences and perceptions. For instance, the belief that "falling hair is disgusting" is just an idea. It is a thought that can be replaced with a more positive and constructive belief.
2. The formation of a new conditioned reflex can be achieved by associating the falling of hair with positive feelings such as "normal" and "healthy."
When the belief that "falling hair is disgusting" resurfaces, it is important to remind oneself that it is merely an idea and to choose alternative, more positive thoughts. One can learn to alter one's mindset and affirm that losing hair is a normal occurrence and not indicative of any underlying health issues. The hair that falls out is no longer necessary for the body's functioning, but it was once a part of the body. One can be grateful for the contribution of those hairs and recognize that they contribute to the overall health and well-being.
When one employs ingenuity to supplant negative beliefs with positive ones, the negative beliefs are naturally rendered inconsequential.

I can totally relate to feeling upset over losing hair during daily routines like washing and drying. It seems like it touches on a deeper anxiety about aging or health that can be really troubling.
Feeling disgusted by the hair that falls out might not just be about hygiene but could also stem from concerns about appearance and selfimage, which are very powerful emotions.
It sounds like you're experiencing a form of anxiety related to noticing hair loss, which can be distressing even if you maintain a regular hair care routine. Maybe talking to a professional could offer some support.
The disgust you feel might be rooted in a fear of losing control over your body's changes, which is a common yet challenging psychological response to something as personal as hair loss.
