Two days ago, I discovered that my white pillow was covered in fine, short hairs that resemble hair building fibers. They are barely noticeable. I couldn't find any information online about this, and I would appreciate it if you could tell me what it could be. Should I be concerned?
Hair loss can sometimes result in finding hairs on pillows. If you're experiencing hair loss, it may be a good idea to consult a doctor to address the issue. However, only seek medical help if you believe it is a genuine concern.
Typically, people lose 50 to 100 hairs a day, which is a normal part of shedding, and these follicles will regrow hair. If you are noticing more than 100 hairs a day and your scalp is becoming more noticeable, it may be beneficial to see a hair restoration physician. They can perform a microscopic evaluation to assess if you are experiencing miniaturization and determine the appropriate course of action.
Counting the number of hairs falling per day can help determine if there is excessive hair loss. 100 hairs per day is normal, but more than that for five consecutive days may indicate a different issue such as Telogen Effluvium or Alopecia Areata. Consult with a hair loss specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
