Dermatologists have told me that it's normal to shed 100 hairs every single day. I used to shed up to 40 hairs daily prior to hair loss. For the past year, I've lost on avg, 200 hairs every single day. When I tell Derms that I used to lose 150 hairs every day for several years, they make it seem as though that is near the "normal" average of 100 hairs. I do not believe that shedding 100 hairs every day is normal. I feel that women w/o hairloss might lose apx 100 briefly, such as around periods.
