Falling hair is part of everyday life, it’s normal to lose around 100 hairs a day as part of the usual hair growth and shedding cycle. But when does shedding fall into the category of hair loss?

What is more pertinent to know is the follicle “survival rate” which is the number of transplanted hairs that survive, to produce permanent hair growth.
