Hello
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com. I can understand your concern.
Losing upto 100 hair a day is considered normal. If you lose more than that it's a cause for worry.
I would suggest you to not worry much over it. You could improve your diet with more proteins, iron, calcium n vitamins.
You can take a multivitamin tablet containing the vitamin biotin to help tide over the situation. It takes 3 months for the hairfall to settle down.
Please let me know if you have any queries. Take care

Hello
Thanks for posting your query. I can understand your concern.
Nowadays hairfall is a common problem seen among all age groups. Losing upto 100 hair a day is considered normal.
Usually hairfall could be a result of nutritional deficiency or following an illness or a stressful period. The hair cycle is of 3 months and it takes that long to tide over the hairfall.
I would recommend a well balanced diet and oral supplements containing biotin.
If the hairfall increases a lot, application of minoxidil lotion could be beneficial.
