I've got a hairy situation
Believe it or not, shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is considered normal. When you lose a hair, it’s replaced by a new one growing in the same spot just below the surface of your scalp. Blondes may appear to lose more because they typically have more hair follicles than brunettes or redheads. Not more fun, just more hair!
Hair is most vulnerable when it’s wet so go easy with your towel, comb, and brush. When you’re wearing a ponytail, don’t pull your hair too tightly and alternate ponytails with looser hairstyles. The constant pull causes some hair loss, especially along the sides of the scalp.
