Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Humans lose 50-80 hairs per day.If you normally lose 20 hairs after a night's sleep, it is normal. If not, be sure to see a physician for evaluation.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

yes, 20 strands of hair on your pillow after a 10 hour sleep  is totally normal ... it is normal to loose up to 100-150 hair strand in a day...dont worry about.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The average person loses 100 hairs per day. What you should be aware of 'do these hair reflect a new trend for you? Are you going bald?  If that is a concern, then see a good doctor
