"Excessive" hair loss is very common. Few stray hairs on the bed, while combing in bathroom, these and many other causes for the person to be alarmed. But don't be, normally, we shed up to 100 hairs per day. Hair in normal and healthy conditions does not fall out at an alarming rate. The excess fall out occurs mostly when the hair follicle is not healthy.
These are some possible causes:
1. Nutrition and Anaemia - Women experience much hair falling as they suffer from iron deficiency, anaemia following profuse bleeding after confinement and continous menses. Calcium and vitamin deficiencies also take vital role in hair shedding.
2. Water and Chemicals - you are taking bath with salt water and using shampoo, colouring and perming lotions and dyes, those may disagree to you, shake the hair root to experience temporary shedding.
3. Diseases - Many people experience extensive hair loss after high Fever,Typhoid, Malaria and Jaundice. Sometimes baldness has also resulted following a prolonged illness.
4. Infections and Dandruff - If you are prone to infections such as Bacterial, Viral or Fungal, it can cause spot fall out. Existence of lice and its excretions may irritate your hair follicle.
5. Emotions - Some people who are unable to cope up with pressures of life, all the time worrying about the problems at work place or home, having most of their emotional conflicts unsolved, are the easy victims of excess hair loss. The muscles of the scalp constrict with mental tension, thereby the blood circulation gets impeded resulting in suffocation of the hair follicles.
6. Drugs - It has been clinically observed that certain Antibiotics, Chemical medications and Hormonal therapies such as Birth-control pills causes the excess falling of hair.
7. Hormonal imbalance - Our genes and hormones determine the most common cause of hair loss. Most women shed their hair during menopause when the production of female hormone slows down. Thyroid disorders, mostly hypothyroidism causes considerable hair loss due to impaired calcium metabolism.
If you are still as alarmed then maybe you should just consult with a doctor 'cause he/she must have more solutions to it than just those who answer your question here.

it is normal but not that common if u have had any chemicals(by chemicals i mean perms,relaxers,s-curls,dyes, jerry curl activater,or anything like that) in your hair and after that you didn't take care of your properly then that can cause it to come out. the best thing i would say is either go to the shop or get some really good conditioner for damaged hair or some that'll strengen your hair and put it in every other day

If it is just a few, don't stress. Everyone loses at least 100 hairs a day. If you are losing a lot of hair and beginning to notice clumps missing or very thin spots at the scalp consult a doctor or ask your stylist about Nioxin for thinning hair.

It's normal to lose a certain amount of hair daily. I think the correct estimate is around 100 strands a day but you know whats normal. If youre stressed, sick, over or underweight this could increase the numbers. Trying taking vitamin supplements daily but if you suspect it to be something else, visit your doctor.
