how much hair should you be shedding?

[arnob]

is there any scientific evidence of the amount you should be shedding some say 100 other say 200, which is correct?

There is no exact number because things depend on genetics (amount of hair, duration of anagen phase). It would be anywhere between 50 and 150 (therefore estimates are about 100) : http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/837994-overview#showall

if you think you are losing hair, you should have that checked with your doctor.

How can a doctor know? Will it be an accurate assumption of whether or not i am going bald? Any treatments they'll give to help me?

The difference between normal shedding and male pattern baldness shedding is that the hairs that fall out are miniaturized.

What do you mean by miniaturized?

 

[burning]

The hair I have falling out doesn't look miniaturized.

If hair is miniaturized you will know because there will be a bald spot where those normal length and color hairs used to be growing. Believe me if your really balding you will know it if you pay attention to it. If balding was not that noticeable I doubt any of us would even be here am I right?
