How many hairs fall out daily?

Many people wonder daily about the normal rate of hair loss, especially when they notice strands of hair on their pillow, while brushing their hair, or during showering.

This question is completely valid, as hair plays a major role in appearance and self-confidence, and any change in it can cause concern.

The normal rate of hair loss

From a scientific perspective, hair loss is entirely normal. Each hair strand goes through a life cycle that includes three stages: growth (Anagen), regression (Catagen), and rest or shedding (Telogen). During this cycle, a certain number of hairs fall out daily and are replaced by new ones.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, an average person loses between 50 to 100 hairs per day. In some cases — such as during seasonal changes, after childbirth, or during periods of extreme stress — this number may rise to as many as 150 hairs per day without being considered a medical condition.

Is hair loss always normal?

Although hair loss itself is a natural phenomenon, an unusual increase in hair shedding may be a sign of an underlying health problem. It is important to monitor hair density, the appearance of bald spots or a receding hairline, or hair falling out in clumps.

Causes of Excessive Hair Loss

Use of harsh hair products: Such as chemical dyes or frequent use of heat styling tools.

Genetic factors: Hereditary baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women, and it usually begins gradually with age.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies: Deficiency in elements such as iron, zinc, and vitamin D directly affects the hair growth cycle.

Hormonal disorders: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women or thyroid disorders can lead to hair loss.

Psychological and physical stress: Ongoing stress or exposure to traumatic events can cause temporary hair loss.
