How much hair fall is normal in a day?
The American Academy of Dermatologists states that, 50 to 100 strands of hair fall is considered normal. So, if you are losing 50-100 hair in a day, then you don’t need to worry.
There are more than 100,000 hair follicles present on your scalp. Hence, the small amount of hair fall doesn’t make a big difference. However, you can review your diet to minimize the hair fall.
