It happens: Hair goes through cycles of emergence,growth & loss.These occur in scattered overlapping areas such that we lose some daily, but these are replaced.People can go through an event like stress,childbirth, trauma, etc.that triggers a change in the normal pattern, sending more into the loss phase to the point most will fall out. Most of these will recover within a year. Other causes could be present.
