Between 25 and 50, can be quantified as normal, but a fall of over 50 hairs must be seen as excessive, whichever take precautions.
Androgenetic alopecia is a physiological phenomenon multifactorial

Genetic causes: it depends on the stimulation by androgenic hormones in genetically predisposed follicles.

Androgenetic stimulus: a stimulus is presented androgen on the sebaceous secretion, by androgenic hormones.

Decreased cell activity: it relates to the passing of the years in response to decreased cellular activity of hair follicles, similar to what happens in the rest of the body.

Dysfunctions in sebum secretion: in those affected by common baldness, there is a significant increase in sebum production.

Peeling pityriasis altered: the accelerated production of basal cells extract quickly pushed to new keratinocytes to the surface for complete keratinization, resulting in a hasty and faulty keratinization which leads to increased scale, rapid cell turnover and appearance of fungi and bacteria propiciantes the onset of common baldness.

Circulatory: generally decreased blood microcirculation leads to less blood supply, which reduces the materials necessary for proper metabolism in hair follicles.

Organic factors: such as diet and psychological factors like stress or depression.
