Q&A: Hair Loss When Combing

Question: I just wanted to know if it is natural for hair to come out a lot when you comb it?

Answer: It is normal to lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. If you don't comb your hair every day, then when you do comb it, you will see more hair than that. You should look at the hairs that are coming out. If they have a root attached to one end of the hair, then the hairs are coming out normally. If there is no root at the end of the hair, then it is breaking. A few hairs will break, because of your hair texture (black hair varies from thick to thin along the hair shaft). However, if most of the hairs you see are broken, then there is a problem, either with the way you are combing your hair, or the products and methods you are using on your hair, and you will want to change that.
