While I was waiting to get my hair cut the other day, I was listening to another stylist chatting with her client about hair loss. The stylist said that losing about 100 hairs a day is completely normal and healthy. Okay, this is fine, as an “everyone knows” sort of fact (whether 100 is the actual number or not). pause, think, pick a random hair off the keyboard
To keep hair at its normal amount of fullness (whatever that amount might be for a particular person), we must also have about 100 hairs a day starting their growth cycles to replace the lost hairs. So – 100 hairs started Saturday, 100 more Sunday, 100 more will start today, another 100 tomorrow …
Why isn’t our hair a weird hodgepodge of lengths?
