The first week of October is Trichotillomania Awareness Week, and it's the perfect time to talk about hair loss. When you experience hair loss, you might wonder if it's normal. The good news: most of the time it is. Most people lose between 50-100 hairs a day, but you may not notice it because new hair quickly grows in to replace it. But if that rate increases or the new growth becomes stalled, it may be time to take action.
