What is considered normal hair fall?

[Vincent]

Hi all,

 

I had a HT with Dr Path in Thailand around 2.75 months ago and all is going well so far. Starting from week 4 precisely I started to get heavy shedding. About 80% of the implanted grafts shed which I expected and at the 2 month mark stopped and starting growing new hairs , very happy.

 

I also had heavy shedding at the same time in the back of my head (native hair) of around 30-50 hairs per day which now has slowed down. However I still get around 10 hairs or so on some days and some days hardly any when washing my hair. Would this be considered normal hair fall?

 

Luckily the 30-50 hairs per day during the shedding at the back of head has no cosmetic effect at all. In fact I had my fianc?e inspect the back of my head quite closely and she couldn't spot any bald patches at all.

 

Also I have been taking Propecia 1mg for roughly 5 months now and applying Minoxidol 5% a couple months before that.

 

Thanks.

Vincent,

 

It is considered normal for the human head to shed around 100 hairs per day. Some sources even estimate much higher numbers.
