Per the American Academy of Dermatologists, it’s normal to lose anywhere from 50 to 100 strands of hair per day. People with longer hair may notice strands on their comb or in the shower more easily than those with shorter hair. However, unless an unusual abundance of hair falls in the shower or on your pillow, there’s no need to worry.

Other indications of accelerated hair loss include a more noticeable scalp, a wider part, thinner ponytail (if you wear one), or difficulty styling your hair as usual. If you notice any of these signs, consult a medical professional for further analysis.
