How Many Hairs Do You Lose A Day?

Losing or shedding hair is a completely natural process for the human body. As discussed above, we always have at least 90% of our hair in the growing stage. On average, people lose about 50 to 150 strands of hair a day. So for a human head with 100,000 hairs, you lose about 0.001% of hair every day. That’s practically nothing!

If you’re shedding hair more than the normal amount, or you’ve noticed your hair volume declining, it could be a sign for you to go see a dermatologist and find the root of the problem. Excessive hair shedding, or permanent hair loss, may be caused by a variety of different things including but not limited to major life changes, medical issues, stress, alopecia, lupus, and much more.
