Daily hair shedding is generally within which range?

• A. 10 to 20 strands
• B. 40 to 100 strands
• C. 250 to 500 strands
• D. 1,000 strands

Answer: (B)

Normal daily shedding comes from the hair growth cycle, where hairs regularly move through growth, transition, and shedding phases. For most people, about forty to one hundred hairs shed each day as new hairs continue to grow. A range like ten to twenty is not typical daily loss, while much higher ranges such as two hundred fifty to five hundred or around a thousand indicate shedding beyond what's normal. If you notice a persistent increase beyond the typical amount or visible thinning, it’s a good idea to check with a stylist or healthcare professional.
