Patty: I know we lose hair when we brush it, but what is a normal amount of hair to lose per day?
Megan: Losing between 50 and 100 hairs per day is considered normal. This shedding happens because your hair is constantly cycling through different phases. Once a strand reaches the end of its resting period, it falls out to make room for new growth. You might notice more shedding if you have longer hair or if you only wash your hair every few days. Consistent loss within this range generally indicates your scalp is functioning exactly as it should.
