This week we have a Q&A session! We love to help where we can so please email your hair or beauty woes to hello@thetopiarysalon.co.uk
Q & A. “How much hair is normal to lose? I always seem to be shedding hair everywhere I go.”
The average woman loses between 50 and 100 strands of hair per day, even up to 150 in some cases, so theres no need to panic when you see stray hairs in the shower tray.
If you feel that you are losing more than the normal amount of hair, you can try this test – Take about 60 hairs between your fingers and gently rake your fingers through the section of hair. Usually between 5 and 8 hairs will come out, this is normal. An excess of 15 hairs, however, is not as common and means you are losing more hair than you should be. The cause of excessive hair loss can be as simple as too much stress or a lack of vitamins, so it is important to take a look at your lifestyle when hair loss becomes an issue. However, hair loss can also become prevalent due to hormonal, immunological, and infectious issues, so it is important to if are at all worried consult your GP.
