Understanding Normal vs.

Excessive Hair Fall

NORMAL HAIR FALL:

- Losing 50 to 100 hairs per day is considered normal.

- On hair wash or oiling days, losing up to 150 hairs is still within a healthy range.

- This is part of the natural hair growth cycle (exogen phase).

WHY THIS HAPPENS:

- Hair naturally sheds to make way for new hair growth.

- Most people dont notice this because its gradual and replaced by new growth.

WHEN TO WORRY ABOUT HAIR FALL:

You may need to take action if:

- Losing more than 150 hairs daily for several weeks.

- Noticeable thinning on the crown or temples.

- Hair coming out in clumps during combing or washing.

- Scalp becoming visible through hair.

- No new baby hair growing where it falls.

HOME HAIR PULL TEST:

1. Take 50-60 strands of hair between your fingers.

2. Gently pull.

If more than 56 strands come out easily, hair fall might be excessive.

TIP: Hair fall is often reversible when the cause (like stress, dandruff, poor diet) is addressed.
Track your fall, improve scalp care, and be patient with results!
