Shedding is hair leaving; hair loss is hair not coming back. Everyone sheds constantly as follicles cycle. The question that matters is whether the shed hairs are being replaced with hairs of the same thickness — or with finer, weaker ones, which is how pattern hair loss progresses.

Everyone counts. Hair's in the drain, hair's on the pillow. And the number tells you almost nothing on its own. Shedding only means something next to what's coming in, and you can't see that in a sink. Someone shedding a lot while growing a lot is fine. Someone shedding a little while growing less is not. Same drain, opposite situation.
This is why 'more hair in the brush' and 'actually losing hair' are different observations. The first can be a season, stress, or nothing. The second shows up as visible change on the scalp over months. Measured photos separate the two cleanly, and they are free to take with Uberhair's hair check.
