A person can lose up to 100 hairs a day.

On average, there can be about 140 thousand of them on the head.

If hair loss is more active, you should consult a doctor.

This recommendation was given by trichologist Anastasia Kurskaya in a conversation with Life .

The specialist told us what exactly could be causing the problem.

She noted that most often it is severe stress, thyroid problems, medication, and fungus.

In the latter case, the cause may be allergies, hormonal imbalances and infections.

In this case, you cannot do without the help of a doctor. It is necessary to take into account that self-medication can only harm and worsen the situation.

The doctor added that one must also ensure that there is no excessive hair breakage or increased oiliness, which often appears due to climate change, poor nutrition or poorly selected hair cosmetics.

Previously, we talked about how to sleep properly with curly hair to maintain beautiful curls.
