It’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. When the body sheds significantly more hairs every day, a person has excessive hair shedding. Most people notice the excessive hair shedding a few months after the stressful event. This condition is called telogen effluvium. Excessive hair shedding is common in people who have experienced one the following stressors: Lost 20 pounds or more Given birth Experiencing lots of stress (Caring for a loved one who is sick, going through a divorce, losing a job) Had high fever Undergone an operation Recovering from an illness, especially if had a high fever Stopped taking birth-control pills As your body readjusts, the excessive shedding stops. Within 6 to 9 months, the hair tends to regains its normal fullness. If the stressor stays with you, however, hair shedding can be long lived.
