It is perfectly normal to lose about 50-100 hair strands each day. However, an amount of hair loss above this level is not normal and considered excessive. Healthy hair requires three essential components: Biotin, Silica, and L-Cysteine. All of these nutrients can be taken orally to help provide the three essential building blocks for healthy hair.
