It's normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. This amount of hair loss is considered normal and happens naturally as part of the hair growth cycle. However, if you notice a significant increase in hair shedding, it could be a sign of a medical condition such as telogen effluvium.
Factors that can affect hair shedding:
- Length and thickness of hair: People with shorter or thinner hair may appear to shed less hair, even if they are losing the same amount as someone with longer or thicker hair.
- Stress: Stress can cause increased hair shedding.
- Health conditions: Certain health conditions, such as thyroid disorders, can also cause hair loss.
If you are concerned about excessive hair shedding, it's important to see a doctor.
