The average daily rate of hair loss is

• A. 20 to 25 hairs
• B. 35 to 40 hairs
• C. 50 to 60 hairs
• D. 5 to 10 hairs

Answer: (B)

Normal daily hair shedding is part of the natural hair cycle, where hairs move from growth into shedding as part of turnover. In a healthy scalp, a moderate amount of hairs are shed each day, balancing with new growth. The option that describes this typical, normal shedding level best matches what professionals consider ordinary daily loss. It sits between too little shedding (which would be unusual) and shedding that’s clearly excessive (which could signal stress, hormonal changes, or other issues). So this range is the one that reflects normal daily hair loss in everyday practice.
