What is the average number of hairs lost each day?

The average number of hairs lost each day typically falls within the range of 75 to 100. This is an important aspect of hair health and normal hair shedding. The human scalp has about 100,000 to 150,000 hair follicles, and it's normal for a certain number of hairs to shed daily as part of the natural hair growth cycle. This cycle includes phases where hair grows, rests, and eventually falls out.

Understanding this range is vital for barbers as it can help identify potential issues related to hair loss. If a client reports losing more than the average amount of hair, it may indicate an underlying health issue or stress factor that could require further attention. Recognizing normal hair shedding also aids barbers in providing clients with accurate information and recommendations for hair care.
