It helps to know that normal individuals can lose 100 hairs each day. While severe illness can cause a sudden loss of hair, usually 2-3 months later, this abrupt loss of hair is temporary. If your hair loss is concerning to you, please see your doctor who may provide an objective view as well as some testing for common causes of hair loss. Best wishes.
