How Much Hair Should You Lose Daily?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Of course none of wish to lose our hair especially if the goal is to have fuller or longer hair. Hair growth depends on a number of factors, but constantly losing part of your locks could make it harder to see if any changes are occurring. Therefore, the question arises of how much hair loss on a daily basis is considered normal?

All of us on average have approximately 100,000 strands resting on our heads. Of these strands it is normal to lose between 40 to 100 hairs. This is true even if you have been taking excellent care of your tresses and are having a good hair day. If you find that you are losing or shedding more hair try changing up your deep conditioning routine and look into your diet. Moreover, hairstyling may also be a culprit of your hair loss. Tight braids, ponytails or chignons aka buns and any styles that maintain a constant pull on your hair could result in losing strands.

Singer and actress Zendaya came to the 2015 Grammys looking like a brand new young woman! Zendaya rocked a super short pixie hair cut that put the focus where it belongs, on her pretty facial features (just look at those eyebrows…say it with us, “ON FLEEK”). Her makeup was so gorgeous as well and we loved the dark lip liner with lighter lip color. Made us think of the good ol’ days aka the 90’s but with a modern twist of course due to the lines not being nearly as severe.
