How many hairs are normal to lose a day?


Question:
i lose about 100 a day is this normal? i thought it seemed a lot so i went to the doctor and they ran all these tests... all normal. do other people lose 80-120 hairs a day too?

Answers:
In my family, loosing a ton of hairs a day is normal. I grew up with my mom's hair EVERYWHERE. It drove me nuts until I started losing my hair everyday too. When I shower, bam, a handful right there. And guess what? I still have a huge thick head of hair. It's genetic. It started for me in my late teens.

If you are really losing your hair and have thinning hair or even balding, I believe this is genetic also. Also, I had a friend who lost her hair when she was stressed.
yup. 100 is actually the normal number exactly.
Not normal. Women lose about 20 - 60 hairs / day. You should go see DV doctors.
there are multiple reasons for hair loss, certainly some is expected and replaced with new, if it's an issue see a specialist ie., dermatologist!
I too lose a lot of hair. i was concerned but got over it. I usual stress out, maybe the cause of it. Geez, i lose so much in the shower & when i brush my wet hair.
