Shedding hair, what is normal?

Shedding hair can be scary particularly when it is a lot.  Everyone sheds about 100 strands a day but if you feel you are losing a lot more than that, it is time to figure out why.  Excessive hair shedding comes about when you are experiencing stress, dealing with illness, or eating poorly to name a few.  If you find your hair is falling out by the handfuls, then it is time to see a doctor.  Your doctor may do some tests to see figure out where your deficiencies lay.  It can then take 6-10 months to get your hair back to it's healthy state.  If the doctor determines that your hair loss is genetic, then it is time to decide what your next steps are.

Thinning Hair, what to do

So, you have noticed that your hair has been slowly thinning over time and now it is at a point where you feel you need to do something. Below are the steps you should follow to figure out what the culprit of your thinning hair may be.

  1. See your general physician. They will take a look at your scalp and may even do blood work to determine what the cause may be. For some it could be a thyroid condition or an autoimmune disease. For others it may just be genetics. Going to your doctor will help to rule out some or all of these things and really get to the bottom of your thinning hair.
  2. Once you have visited with your doctor, you may be on the road to getting your hair back, whether he or she determines it is something that can be treated or not, you may still need some help to keep your hair looking its best.
