What Is Normal Hair Loss?

The Difference Between Hair Shedding and Hair Loss 

 

The hair on our heads follows a natural life cycle of growth, resting and shedding this means that at any one time, approximately 8% of our hair follicles will be in the shedding stage, which causes around 70 to 100 strands to fall out each day. 

 

This type of shedding is normal and part of a healthy body’s natural processes. 

 

Hair loss is considered as excessive or abnormal when a person consistently loses significantly more than 100 strands over an extended period. 

 

Excessive hair loss has a number of different causes including genetic predisposition, nutrient deficiencies, immune system and thyroid disorders, and stress to name a few. 

 

It can be hard for a most people to then determine what is considered normal hair loss and understand exactly what is making their hair fall out and, because of this, too many men and women waste time trying treatments that aren’t appropriate for their condition.
