What exactly is NORMAL hair loss?

This is a huge question for many people!!

              When you are watching hair go down the drain in clumps, or fall onto your sweater or shirt, gasping at your hairbrush in fear you've lost more than what will grow back, that is no laughing matter, and the question becomes...…. What is normal hair loss?

We've all seen the individual in the store that has lost most all of their hair, and our next fear is, "Am I going to be that person"!


There are various sources that declare many numbers:


American Academy of Dermatologists- 50 to 100 strands of hair per day.
US Trichology Institute- 25-100 strands of hair per day.
The HairPin- 100- 125 per day
Healthline- 50 to 100 per day
Web MD- 50 to 100 per day

So the point here being, there's really no hard, fast number, there's a general idea, but who counts these hairs? 

It's easy to assume there must be something causing this hair loss, but the truth is, every person of every age. will lose hair. 

So when should you be concerned? Look for unusual hair loss:
*Patches or bald spots
*Clumps of hair
*Seeing visual thinning of scalp that didn't use to be visible
*More hair loss in numbers in a standard location (brush, pillow, sink) than what you've seen before

Women tend to lose more hair per day than men. Heat Styling, hair coloring, braids, extensions, can all play a part in that assessment. Here are some other ways for their to be hair loss:
* Age
* Stress
* Medications
* Nutrition
* Hygiene
* Health (underlying medical conditions)

All of this can play a role, and have a toll on hair loss. Many things can compromise hair growth, some we induce ourselves, others that are out of own control.

How do you know for sure if your hair loss is normal? Hopefully, this article has given you some guidelines, but if you are still in question, contact a Trichologist for a proper consultation in your area. You need a professional assessment and they can put your mind at ease.
