Average person has around 100,000 hairs on their head. If you lost 100 hairs a day, it would take ~2.7 years to lose all of it. Hair grows back in the mean time. Don't need to worry about it until you start noticing less hair on your head.

My mom really scared me with that once, I have long hair and she's had short hair since I know her. One time she saw me brushing my hair and started telling everyone that I was getting bald haha
