I wash my hair every other day. i lose about 40 hairs in the shower. i have shoulder length straight hair and i feel like it is thinning a lot. is that too much hair to lose in the shower?

Losing hair is a normal part of hair growth cycle. On average, a person can lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. However, losing more than that may be a cause for concern. In this case, losing 40 hairs every other day may not necessarily be too much hair to lose, but it is important to consider other factors such as the thickness of the hair and whether or not there are visible signs of thinning.
