I've been growing my hair out for about a year and a half now and it is about to my shoulders. My question is this: I was wondering how much hair one loses a day? After showering and combing, I generally lose I'd say about 20-40 strands (rough estimate). Is this normal or what? Thanks.
That's the same rate of hairloss I discover for me.
It is normal to lose 50-100 strands per day. When your hair gets longer, since each strand is longer, the hair lost each day is a bigger mass of hair. This startles quite a few guys when first growing out their hair, but their fear is unnecessary. The loss you report is normal, so have no worry.
