What is a normal amount of hair for a 21 y fm to lose? i seem to be losing more hair than usual and my hair seems to be thinner than normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal hair loss: The normal person loses about 100 hairs/day. It is of concern if you find hair on your pillow in the morning; hair comes out in clumps; hair clogs the shower drain; or your hair brush is "full" after brushing. Maxalt (rizatriptan) may be related to hair loss.
