I have read that losing anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal depending on the person.After a while, I think you should know if you are losing a bit more hair than normal for you. You have to think whether you are going through a shedding period, too. Also, is your hair coming out from the follicle or is it just breaking off somewhere down the line.My friend Mitchelle is a good example. I have known her since the 7th grade. She has always worn her hair long. She is a blonde and has thick, strong hair. Her hair is down to her derriere and always seems to be "shedding." I can remember sitting behind her in class and her asking me just to pull out the strands she could not reach. She also makes sure to brush her hair twice daily to remove dead hairs. She is familiar with the bathroom-floor phenomenon of which you spoke. In fact, so am I. The difference is that mine occurs mostly during a shedding period. I usually notice a substantial amount of growth after this has happened.I hope this may help a bit.Take care and have a happy holiday season!Jade21

How do I know if I'm loosing too much hair? I never paid much attention b/f I got white tile in my bathroom, but the other day I was shocked to see how much hair I was loosing when I wash! I treat my hair very gently b/c it is very fine. After I wash, I comb it with a wide tooth comb to get the tangles out. The other day I was trying to not get hair all over my clean floor so I was catching the hairs and putting them on the counter. I counted about 50 hairs! Is this normal? I mean, really! I don't have that much hair anyway!
