Hair Loss Question

People always say how it is normal to lose hair after showering and during the day...but they say that;s normal and it doesn't mean one is going bald...but I don't fully understand the statement. If hair is falling out everyday is your hair not getting thinner and thinner to the point where there will be no hair left?

Probably just because you have so many hairs to begin with, the normal rate of losing hair every day won't really affect it.

The hair that is falling out has been growing for several years (on average, 2-3). So let's say that a 3 year old hair falls out and starts to regrow. When another hair is ready to fall out, that hair will have been growing for awhile and you won't notice the hair loss. Normal loss is at about 75-100 hairs a day, which sounds like a LOT, but most people have about 100,000 hairs on their heads.
Hope that made sense!

I seem to loose most of my hair right after having gotten out of the shower and when I'm drying my hair...is that like others here?
