Most adults lose approximately up to 100 strands of hair from their scalp every day due to the natural process whereby some hairs go into a dormant state (telogen), and others come out of this state and begin to sprout new hair (anagen). As long as the process remains balanced, the number of hairs on the scalp remains constant.
