A member asked:

I have thin hair and i loose about 35-40 hairs a day is that considered hair loss for my case? :(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Everyone different: Everyone is different but it is not uncommon to lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. If you are losing more hair than you have in the past then see your doctor to look for medical causes.
