Have you had your thyroid checked. High levels will make your hair fall out, so will low levels..Go to DR. simple blood test.

I don't mean to come off as being sarcastic but how do you know it is 100. Surely you don't count them. It is normal to lose hair. When mine gets long and it is ready for a haircut I can't believe the hair in the comb after I wash it. But considering all the hairs on a persons head I doubt 100 is very many.

Have your hormones changed drastically lately? Pregnancy, menopause, etc??? When your hormones get out of whack they can cause you to lose hair. With both my babies I lost tons of hair when they were about 4 months. I didn't know how I still had hair on my head so much was coming out. I was fine, also if your hair is long it will seem like more. When mine is short it doesn't fall out as bad, but like now when I am wearing it longer it falls out like crazy. If you are really concerned see your Doctor;-}

It's natural to lose hair on a daily basis, if your hair isn't getting any thinner then I wouldn't worry about it, I lose a LOT of hair too but my hair is thick as ever! :D

100 hairs a day is about average. It's not baldness.
