It is completely normal to lose 50–100 strands of hair a day. Since there are about 100,000 hairs on the human head, this small loss usually goes unnoticed. Normally, new hair grows in to replace what’s lost, but this isn’t always the case. Hair loss can develop gradually over years or happen quite suddenly, and it can be either permanent or temporary. It is impossible to count every single hair lost in a day. However, you might be losing more than normal if you notice a large amount of hair in the drain after washing or clumps of hair in your brush. You may also notice thinning patches or bald spots. For those with curly hair, since you don't brush daily, it may seem like you’re losing a lot of hair at once during wash day. While straight hair allows shed strands to fall away freely throughout the day, curly coils trap them. These strands only come loose with mechanical help—like finger-detangling or using a brush during your wash routine. If you notice that you are losing more hair than usual, we recommend consulting a specialist. They can determine the underlying cause and suggest an appropriate treatment plan. Please note that the products in this category may not be effective in all cases, especially if the hair loss is caused by an undiagnosed underlying medical condition.
