Does this sound like you, grab a quick cup of coffee for breakfast and then gulp it down as you run out the door, for lunch you go to the drive thru and get a burger and wolf it down as you speed to your next appointment or back to the office, then light up a cigarette just before you arrive to relax and help ease your stress.

A lot of are young adults find themselves under a lot of severe stress do to work or lack of it.

With the economy in the state it is in today many people are dealing with downsizing of their offices or having to relocate to a new location, and theses situations can put you under a heavy stress factor.

What Is Consider Normal Hair Shedding Or Daily Hair Loss

Before we take a look at what is consider normal hair shedding we need to look at our hair in general. The average head of hair has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs, which grows about a half an inch per month. Hair in general is growing because of the rapid cell division that takes place at the base of the follicle in our scalps and then becomes pigmented when it is forced up and out of the follicle.

Normal hair shedding or alopecia, is a natural part of our hairs life cycle, age, androgens and genetic factors play a role in our normal hair loss. There are some other factors that can also play a role in hair loss like suffering from bad health, medication side effects, and skin disorders.

Heredity can also play a major role for our hair loss. There are millions of men, women and children who suffer with hair loss because of heredity. You also should know that on any given day we will  shed anywhere from 100 to 300 hairs this is just the natural process. Every hair on are head goes thru the normal hair growth cycle then it dies and falls out. So how does the normal growth cycle work? Its made up of three stages:

· Anagen stage
· Catagen stage
· Telogen stage

In the Anagen stage of our hair cycle our hair will grow and this will last anywhere from two to four years and a normal hair will grow about 6 inches a year.

The Catagen phase is a transition phase that last about two to four weeks, and signals the end of the growing cycle and is when the club hair is formed.

Telogen phase is the resting phase for our follicle, ten to fifteen percent of our hair are always in this phase and it will last about 100 days for scalp hair.

Having normal hair loss is not a reason to panic, but on the other hand if you feel that you have an excessive amount of hair loss, then it’s a good idea to contact your doctor to discussed your concerns.

There are many different types of treatments that are available today and you would need to pick one  based on the cause of your hair loss.

We all lose some where around 100 hairs a day if you feel your losing more than that take a look at any bad habits you may have devolved over the years like: excessive washing, hair rubbing, or too much brushing these can cause an increase in hair loss.

Remember that losing 100 hairs a day is normal! And as we get older we may see an increase in hair loss. Did you know that male pattern baldness which is a genetic condition is consider normal hair loss. So if you are over 30 and you notice that your hair is getting thinner, you can bet that this is probable just normal hair loss.
