Is it normal to shed hair?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, shedding some hair every day is normal; old hairs fall out as new ones grow. A sudden increase, bald patches, or shedding that keeps worsening is worth getting checked.
Yes—your hair naturally sheds as part of its growth cycle, so finding some strands in the shower, brush, or around the house is usually no big deal. It can seem more noticeable after washing or brushing, when loose hairs come out all at once.
Stress, illness, hormonal changes, and some medications can temporarily increase shedding. If it’s sudden or heavy, leaves bald patches, or comes with scalp irritation, check in with a healthcare professional.
