Yes, shedding telogen vellus hairs is normal. On average a typical person sheds 80-100 a day. If you're having other symptoms of loss, see a hair loss specialist.

Yes , shedding telogen vellus is normal.It is natural for human to lose daily 5-100 hair shaft in telogen phase, and it is an expected outcome of hair cycle. These hairs appear again and grow back. About 10% of all hair on our heads is in the telogen phase.

Shedding of telogen vellus hairs can be either normal or abnormal. It simply comes down to how many are being shed. Provided less than 20 % of shed hairs are telogen vellus hairs one is less suspicious about androgenetic alopecia.
