Answer
It is normal to lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. The hairs start over again from the same hair follicle and are visible in about 3 months. If you had something stress you out, whether it was a physical illness or emotional stress you could have developed what is called a Telogen Effluvium. This usually goes back to normal in six months.

Shampooing daily or once a month will result in the same total number of hairs lost per month. Because people notice more hair lost when they shampoo they think that the shampoo causes the loss. That is not true. Hairs normally move up and fall out naturally but when you shampoo the loose hairs come out more easily at that time and not randomly all day long.
