A certain amount of hair loss is normal. According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, 50 to 100 strands of hair per day is considered normal hair shedding. So it’s nothing to be concerned about if you’re losing a little bit of hair in the shower or seeing some strands in your hairbrush every day. However, if you notice a growing bald spot, have a receding hairline or experience clumps of hair falling out, we recommend making an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist for a professional evaluation and diagnosis. He or she will be able to tell you whether or not your hair loss is normal or not.
