A member asked:
What is the minimum amount of hairs we should shed a day? 15-20?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is estimated: that it is normal to shed 50 to 100, even 150 hairs per day. I doubt anybody knows a minimum number ... I can't think why anybody would notice that or try to count how many hairs they were losing if they were not concerned about losing too many. Definitely something I don't think you need to worry about. Stay well:)
