 I would say "NOT NORMAL". Have you had your labs checked lately? You could be deficient in something. Low protein.....

Did my labs on Sept.28th, protein was ok.  Could it have dropped enough in that time to cause hair loss? I will up my shakes and see if that helps. I am also still taking biotin.

Weight loss changed my thyroid levels and I lost hair again. Even my eyebrows!

It's not that ABnormal.

First thing that comes to mind is thyroid.

Even at 2 years out, if I didn't keep drinking protein shakes regularly (1-2 shakes per day), my hair would start falling out even if I was eating 150+ grams of protein daily from food. My protein was never actually low on my labs, but I noticed that pattern, so I stuck with the shakes for the long haul ****il I got pregnant!).

Happened to me.  It was my thyroid.  Get thyself to the dr and get some labs drawn!!!

 Are you taking zinc and biotin as well ? Zinc I have found makes a difference as well as the Biotin. Could also be thyroid as others mentioned, must check your labs.

I agree with all the other posters and although it's not completely abnormal you might want to have them double check.  I recently just started having hairloss again, and come to find out I am having higher than normal liver enzymes (apparently higher than "we" are supposed to have) which can cause some hair loss.  If everything still checks out all right... well then I guess normal for you!  Good luck :)
