Normal shedding or actual hairloss?

At times when I run my hand through my hand, I'll get 4-6 medium/long hairs. This will happen each time I run my hand through, it stops after about 3-4 run throughs. Other days there's no hair at all when I run my hands through. Similarily, when I shampoo my hair, I'll get 5-7 hairs in each run through, for about the same amount of time, though sometimes none at all.

 

Is this normal hair shedding or true hair loss?

Learn,

 

Shedding between 50-100 (some say up to as many as 150) hairs a day is completely normal and not an indication of true hair loss. In this instance, it sounds like "normal shedding." However, if you are concerned, it may be worthwhile to have your hair evaluated by a hair loss/restoration expert.

 

Good luck!
