What is a normal amount of hair loss in shower?

For someone with thyroid issues, hair loss can be a big concern because it's a common symptom. Generally, losing 50-100 hairs a day is normal, and it often seems like more in the shower because it's getting washed out. However, if it feels excessive or you see noticeable thinning, it's always best to get your thyroid levels checked again. Don't ignore it.

While losing up to 100 hairs a day, especially in the shower, is generally considered normal, it's still good to be cautious. If you notice a sudden increase, or if your hair feels thinner overall, it could be due to stress, diet, or other underlying issues. Always best to get it checked by a dermatologist to rule out anything serious. Don't just assume.

Yep, around 50-100 strands daily is normal, and a lot of that happens in the shower. Nothing to worry about usually.

My daughter used to get so upset seeing all the hair in the shower drain. I told her it's very normal for a lot of hair to come out when you're washing it, maybe even a big handful, because that's when the already shed hairs finally detangle. As long as her scalp isn't showing and it grows back, I don't worry. Just focus on good hair care.
