We’ve all probably had that moment of panic after we combed our hair and happened to glance down and saw more hair than normal scattered across the bathroom floor. It looked like a lot of hair. So much hair we started looking in the mirror to see if any hair was left on our head.
When I’ve had those moments I’ve had to bring myself back from the brink of panic and reassess the situation. Anyone with hair on their head sheds anywhere from 50-100 strands a day. For some people, normal shedding may even be a little bit more.
So seeing hair on the floor isn’t always a need to panic. It could just be a normal shedding cycle. I know when I go a few days without styling my hair I tend to see more shed hair because some of it was trapped in the style.
In instances where the shedding does seem to be more than normal, especially on a consistent basis it may be time to start taking action.
