Hello! A good way to check is the 'pull test'. Gently pull about 50-60 strands of hair. If more than 5-8 strands come out, it might be excessive. Also, if you notice thinning patches, a wider part line, or unusually large amounts of hair in your comb, shower drain, or pillow, it's worth seeing a doctor or dermatologist. Don't stress too much, but do get it checked.
Hair loss can be linked to many health issues, just like how diet impacts diabetes. If you're seeing much more hair than usual on your comb or in the shower, and it's happening consistently, then it's probably excessive. Always check with a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. Balanced diet is key.
Ho na, when your comb is full of hair every time, ya phir shower drain also choked, then you know it's too much. If your scalp is showing more than before, that's a sign. Don't ignore it, talk to a doctor. Could be stress or some deficiency, na.
Yes, if you see more than usual hair in the drain or on your comb, it's a good indicator.
My grandmother used to say if your hair falls so much that the floor looks like a broom swept it, it's too much! In all seriousness, if you see significant thinning, or hair loss in patches, it needs attention. It's best to consult a dermatologist or your family doctor to find the root cause, they will guide you properly.

Honestly, I used to panic after every hair wash! But a normal person loses around 50-100 strands a day. If you're consistently losing way more than that, like seeing clumps every time you comb or wash, or your ponytail feels much thinner, then it's probably excessive. Get your vitamin levels checked too!
Normally, some hair fall is natural, haan. But if you feel your hair has become much thinner, or you are finding strands everywhere – on clothes, pillow, floor – much more than before, then it's excessive. You can try some natural remedies for a while, like oiling. But if it continues, definitely see a doctor, it might be due to deficiencies or other health issues.
