I am watching my shedding
How much shed should I worry about?
Average scalp sheds about 100 hairs/day with a cycle of 3 years. That is 100,000 hair shed over almost 3 years, just do the math). If the cycle is shorter like a two year cycle (anagen to telogen cycle) then more hair loss can be expected and it would be normal. With the average Caucasian having 100,000 hairs and a two year cycle (which may be the case in some men in their early 20s), that would be 50,000 hairs/year shed (137/hairs per day shed would be normal).
