How much of vellus hair shedding is normal?

April 24, 2021
Asked By:NamaJeff in West Java, Indonesia

In a day I shed about 3 hairs in a shed of 30-40 a day, these are super thin, almost like dog fuzz at times and super short. It's always around that number even if the total shed increases. There's always around 3-5 of these super thin hairs, and the length is about 2 cm or less.
