Nothing is more frightening than seeing few tufts of hair going down the drain after shampooing or combing, or hair scattered over pillow when one wakes up. Its important to note that hair fall of up to 100 hairs is natural. This is natural shedding and the hair will grow again. When there is consistent hair fall of over 150 hair per day, it is called hair loss. Hair loss is different from hair fall, in that the hair fall isn’t compensated by new hair growth.
