How much hair are you supposed to shed??

[Pryncez524]

Since I've joined this forum I've been extra careful when combing out my hair and detangling it so that I dont take out unnecessary hair. I used to just yank it out erplexed
So I was wondering how much shedding is normal? How much is the average person supposed to shed when they comb out or wash their hair?

It is normal to shed 50 - 100 hairs a day

Thank you. What about when its little pieces of hair? Is that just breakage from split ends?

It's definitely breakage but i don't know if it's from split ends. How does your hair feel? Is it mushy or wiry?

I dont know what you mean by mushy or wiry. But when I comb it out maybe abou 10-20 little hairs will come out. And a few strands come out from the root. I may need a trim. I'm really not sure
