      Most people lose about 50 hairs per day. Sometimes it seems like more falls out because a “dead” hair strand will usually cling to the scalp a few days before finally falling out.

      apparently the statistics is 100 hairs a day

      If you lose more than 60 hairs a day you’ll go bald.

      There are several factors to take into consideration, the average hair loss per day is between 70 to 150 hairs, but it you use hair products and don’t wash your hair every day, this could cause and accumulation of hairs that have fallen out and when you come to washing, it seems like alot more. Also longer hair will make it seems like you’re losing more.

      Just a little, if it is a lot it could be from excessive stress or unhealthy eating habits, if you think it’s too much see a doctor.

      on average you loose 50 to 100 strands a day and you usually notice it in the shower. if you don’t wash your hair everyday you will notice more because it will have the previous day’s 50-100 still in there. it is when you notice shedding outside the shower that you should be aware of, like after it is dry and you are running your fingers through it and alot comes out then there should be some concern but if you are just noticing it in the shower and when you comb it soon after you should be fine

      100 a day. it grows back, unless you are past middle age and it’s thinning. It’s probably not coming back.
