Do you know how many hairs are falling from your head on a daily basis? It comes around to 100 or 150 a day, this is all about your natural hair and the same happens to be with the hairpieces.

Hair shedding is nothing but the hair fall that takes place in natural hair as well as in hairpieces, there is no MATHS in understanding shedding, the only problem it creates when the shedding becomes excessive and frequent.

Also, shedding depends on quality, use and maintenance. A little less shedding is normal exactly the way your biological shedding is! But, but shedding also relies greatly on its quality, such as an inferior or lower quality hair piece will lead towards excessive shedding.

On the other side, Shedding can be the outcome bad or a rough usage and maintenance of hairpieces.

See, let us understand this in a creative manner :
