Take biotin. Losing 100ish strands is normal. If you think it is more than that, I would suggest seeing a doctor. Alopecia is a common hairless issue, and seeing a physician would be your best bet.

Do you wear extensions all the time? If so you need to do protein and moisture deep conditioning treatments before putting in extensions. Protein such as an egg on your hair can strengthen it and coconut oil as a deep conditioning treatment can and shine to your hair. Stay away from chemicals and heat. Also drink plenty of water. If its falling out to bad go see a doctor like Sarah recommended.

Don't take any vitamins or supplements (including biotin) without first consulting your doctor.

Many things can cause your hair to shed, including hormone fluctuations, nutritional deficiency, circulatory issues, traction alopecia (where the hair is rubbed or pulled repeatedly), and many health issues.

If you're suddenly losing more hair than usual, see your doctor. You need to rule out any underlying health problems. In order to minimize breakage and damage, avoid tightly pulled styles, heat styling, chemical processing, and vigorous brushing (especially while wet).

Warm the coconut oil and put it all over your hair for as long as you can stand it then wash it out. You can mix olive oil and coconut oil if you want too.

Take Natures Bounty Biotin and 2 Folic Acids tablets every night when you eat dinner. If you wash your hair everyday, try to get in the habit of only washing it 2 or 3 times a week. That way you aren't continuously stripping the natural oils from your hair. Massaging your scalp stimulates hair growth as well. Get unrefined coconut oil and melt it in the microwave in a bowl, or on the stove in a small pot. Let it cool a bit and apply it to dry hair. Put a bag or plastic cap on your head and leave it on for an hour or so. Shampoo out and condition. Your hair should feel healthier and look shiny.

Do NOT take any pills without getting a blood test done to see if you're deficient. Just take care of your hair. Do masks once a week, don't wash everyday, don't use heat or harsh products.
Taking biotin or any pills without taking a blood test to see if your deficient is incredibly dangerous. If you're on even a semi healthy diet you're most likely getting enough biotin from your food. As someone who has overdosed on biotin when I was younger, please do not just go out and take pills. Just because they're sold in stores does not mean you should take them without consulting a doctor. Taking any vitamins, especially biotin can lead to very bad side effects that defeat the point of taking them fit nice hair like hair loss, hair dryness, nail weakness, skin issues like permanent breakouts, dehydration etc, not to mention the lethal ones like kidney failure, liver failure, heart palpitations and more. Read these threads for even more reasons why you should NOT take biotin or any other pills just because someone on the Internet said it's okay.
