Normal female hair loss is usually 100-125 hairs daily. Normal female hair grows about an inch a month.

Hair has "growing cycles"; i.e., how long a particular hair grows before it falls out. Some growing cycles are months; some are years. This is why some women can grow very long hair and others cannot.

Your hair loss is probably normal, since you're stated you aren't going bald!

If one wants to improve their hair health, one thing to improve is what one eats. Generally, eating a full diet that contains protein, fruits, vegetables, grains, and even an appropriate amount of fat is important (several vitamins and minerals require fat in order to be delivered or absorbed by the body). Any deficiency will typically show first in the hair, perhaps even before it is diagnosed. For example, even a mild case of anemia can cause shedding and hair loss.

When the body is under strain, it reprioritizes its processes. For example, the vital organs will be attended to first, meaning that healthy, oxygenated blood may not feed into the hair follicle, resulting in less healthy hair or a decline in growth rate. While not all hair growth issues stem from malnutrition, it is a valuable symptom in diagnosis.

[edit] Thyroid disease

Particularly among women, thyroid disease is one of the more under-diagnosed health concerns. It's very important to see a medical professional when hair falls out in clumps. This is one symptom of a set of symptoms that may indicate a thyroid concern. The good news is that in many gynecological exams a blood screen for thyroid is now a common protocol. Although this entry regarding hair care is not about thyroid, it is worth mentioning since it's not as commonly known by the general population that thyroid often shows up first in the behavior of the hair.

It is normal to lose 80 to 100 strands per day. It is through a biological process known as shedding. With the average number of head hair averaging from 15,000 to 30,000 per person...with hair color actually having a factor in number per scalp. So, we lose 80 to 100 per day; and, there are new hair growing to replace the lost ones. Stress contributes to hair loss, as well as, other diseases and illnesses. Use the third source below to explore other causes for hair loss. If it is more than 100 strands per day or falling out in clumps, it is worth a trip to the doctor so that the cause may be determined. Speak with a beautician or cosmotologist and they can explain normal hair loss, too. I hope that it is just from curiosity and not a serious condition. Weather and climate actually has a small amount to do with it, too. It is nature's way of helping us adapt to our environment.
