Hairfall after shampoo. Much oily food.

How much hair loss can you expect on the day you wash ?This is very good query which many people get confused about.Well, the average daily normal hair fall varies between 100-150 . Average means when you count number of hair shedding daily over 3-4 days (depends on how often you wash your hair with shampoo). On the day you wash your hair properly with shampoo , hair shedding can go upto 200-300 per day (depending on many factors like season,hair length and thickness,etc).This excess hair shedding on the day you wash can happen during shampooing or drying or combing.Next 2 or 3 days when you don't wash ,the hair shedding will be less in the range of 50-100 .Hence, the average of 3-4 days should be around 100-150. Anything more than this or visible loss of volume of hair or visible baldness needs to be treated.

Another point you mentioned is you see hair breakage due to entanglement.This can increase the number of hair you lose in a day. For proper combing and drying refer to my article "Routine Hair Care Is Not Rocket Science" (search my name and this article on google).While combing you need to

Use clean ,wide-mouthed,soft bristle comb and start combing from hair ends to release the knots and never start combing from scalp down.Never comb wet hair as wet hair tends to break easily .Hope you can use these tips to control your hair fall and still if you have excessive hair shedding you need to do some blood tests to find the exact reason and treat accordingly.All the best.
