Daily Hair Shedding in Women with Long Hair: What to Expect

On average, a person loses about 50 to 100 hairs per day. This number is generally the same regardless of hair length. So, a woman with long hair would likely lose around 50 to 100 hairs per day, just like anyone else.

The reason it *seems* like more hair is lost with long hair is because:

* Visibility: Longer hairs are more noticeable when they fall out, especially against clothes or surfaces.

* Collection: Long hairs tend to get caught in brushes, shower drains, and around the house, making them more visible in clumps.

* Detangling: Brushing or detangling long hair can pull out hairs that were already loose, making it seem like more hair is being lost at once.
