What is normal shedding?

Hello

I am new here and i really love this forum.
I have a question: My hair is growing and is much longer now since i started my journey to healty hair. I used to co wash everyday and detangled my hair during the cowash. I had some shedding but not more than usual. Nothing to worry about.
Since i changed regimen i cowash sometimes ones a week or 1 time in 4 days. So now when i detangle my hair after washing i am like wow that's much hair. I started to worry so i counted my hair and i wanted to know if its to much.
I detangled my hair friday night and today again tuesday night. So that is 4 days in between...i counted 190 hairs.
Is that to much? or nothing to worry about?
Help!

Hi Nadia! Welcome to LHCF!

Your shedding sounds normal. The average amount of shedding is 50-100 hairs a day, so losing 190 hairs in 4 days is nothing to worry about.

It's good that you're keeping an eye out though. You don't want to lose any more hair than absolutely necessary.
