text: is shedding hair bad??? i seem to be shedding a lot, and i'm not sure why, my grandma says it's just puberty, but it can also be a sign of serious illnesses. should i be worried or no? i doubt it is anything bad. you probably don't brush your hair enough!! see, people lose at least 70-80 hairs per day, anf if you dont remove them with a brush, they will build up and it will seem like you are "shedding". but, just in case, you may want to visit a doctor, b/c in cats and dogs, and increased amount of shedding can mean lack of nutrition. hope it helped ya!!
