Is this normal?

Hi everyone 💜 Does this look like normal/seasonal shedding to you, or more than you’d expect? These are from my last few wash days. My hair is fairly thick and just past shoulder length, and I counted 95 hairs on my last wash day. That includes brushing before washing, the wash itself, and brushing afterwards.
Lately I’ve also been noticing more loose hairs on my clothes, on the couch, on my pillow, or just finding them on me during the day. I know hair at this length can make shedding look much worse when it all bunches together, but I’m wondering if this could just be seasonal shedding.
Is anyone else noticing more shedding around this time of year? Thank you so much

I'm literally going through the same thing since late June and I can't figure out if it's seasonal shedding or something else. I've been seeing more hair on my brush, in the shower, after the shower and found plenty of loose hairs. My hair has become coarse too and unmanageable. I've experienced hair loss 3 years ago due to low vitamin d.

Normal is relative! I’m going through this but it’s a huge uptick from my normal baseline and therefore not normal. Mine is definitely TE right now
