Will I find 3000 Hairs In My Hat After I Take It Off After a Month?
Does the average person really lose 100-150 scalp hairs daily or is this just a myth?
If i was to wear a beanie hat for 30 days would i then find 3000-4500 hairs inside the hat after i take it off?
Let’s talk hair physiology. assuming you are an average Caucasian male with a typical hair count of 100,000 hairs on your head, and your hair cycles every three years and the telogen cycle is 3 month, then simple match brings us to 100 hairs per day go into telogen while another 100 hairs per day regrow to replace the telogen hairs. If you cycle is two years, not three years, then the number of hair lost per day will be 50% higher, on average. Hair cycles in each of us and the length of the cycle varies by age, genetics, health and possibly slightly by seasons. Now do the math on wearing your hat for 30 days and you can determine your hair cycle.
