Senior Member Gokuhairline Posted October 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2021 a quick google search says its normal to shed between 50-100 /day is normal .....i.e. on the pillow when you wake up, during/after shower, etc....so say someone shedding anywhere from 10-20 would that be normal or cause for concern ?

Senior Member gillenator Posted October 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2021 Individuals that have high densities will notice more and it also depends on how frequent one is brushing their hair throughout the day. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Kjdrapeau Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Was going to start a new thread but found this while searching and thought it would be better to post here rather.. I’m curious about shedding stages too, is it good to “accelerate” the process by massaging the scalp, etc? Gently of course. I’ve been using sea buckthorn oil and washing hair every other day or so. Also curious about cutting my hair/native hairs around during shedding, is it a good way to camouflage just buzzing it with a 1 or 2 every week until shedding decreases (I’m a month post op, so not sure how long shedding stage will last?) also I’ll be posting a new topic about my procedure with Dr Nader, it went very well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pkipling Posted October 29, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2021 While they always say that we shed about 100 hairs a day, I can't for the life of me see how that's possible. If I'm shedding that much, I have no idea where they go, as I don't find them on my pillow, in the shower, in the drain, or anywhere really. Lol. I did have an ex once whose hair did shed in a way that it felt like 100 a day. Mine just seem to evaporate. 1 I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.
