Question

i notice i shed alot of hair in the shower, i'm starting to worry. i want full hair and my hair seems to be falling all the time. how much hair a day is normal? i use straightners and curlers alot. Maybe this is part of the problem. what products can i use to help. thanks

Answer 1

I had the same problem(more when i was pregnant) but its normal to lose about 100 strands a day because your hair is constantly growing.

Answer 2

Ive never counted it but I shed about a handfull of hair a day and I dont use alot of curlers or straightner. But I have thick and healthy hair.

Answer 3

I've heard that it's normal to shed about 100 hairs a day.

Answer 4

My friend is a hair stylist at Vidal Sassoon in Beverly Hills, and I was having the same problem. She said it is normal to shed about 10-40 strands of hair a day, a lot of people freak out about it, but it is normal

Answer 5

The same thing happens to me. My husband (who is losing his hair) tells me I leave more hair in the drain in one day than he has on his head!

My salon told me that we lose more hair in the spring and fall - we shed, just like animals. Makes sense to me.

Answer 6

It all depends on how many hairs on your head. Most people have somewhere between 80,000 and 250,000 hairs on their head. So respectively, losing between 80 and 250 hairs per day is perfectly normal. HTH : )

Answer 7

100 hairs or maybe a lil more hair is constantyly growing but to much hair loss is from stress i had that to.......... take deep breaths often and eat healthy EXCERCISE TOO
