How much is too much hair shedding?

Excessive hair shedding can be scary.  It is normal to shed about 100 strands a day but if you notice you are losing a lot more than that, it is time to figure out why.  Losing large quantities of  hair can be the cause of stress, dealing with illness, medication 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 figure out where your deficiencies lay.  With a proper diagnosis, it can 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.
