Founder and medical director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, Carolyn Jacob, MD, tells us that the average person will lose 100 hairs every day, and that anything more than that is a problem:

“Typically, people shed about 100 hairs a day. Most people don’t even notice. Sometimes, a significant stress of sort may spark a change in your body’s routine physiological functions, and cause a disproportionate number of hairs to go into the resting phase at the same time.

Then three to four months later, sometimes longer, all those resting hairs are shed. The effect can be alarming. The types of events that disrupt the normal hair cycle can be caused by the substantial physiological stresses on your body.”

So, if you have sudden and dramatic hair loss, there’s a good chance that your stress is causing physiological changes to your body.
