Do Asians Lose Less Hair Than Caucasians Each Day?
I’ve read that Asian hair has less hair loss daily than Caucasians. Is this true and if so how much is lost daily? I’m a 22-year-old Asian adoptee and I’ve always lost high amounts of hair daily for as long as I can remember, sometimes up to a 100-150 on some days. Is this an indication that I’m going bald?
Asians do have less hair than Caucasians, but in general people lose about 100 hairs a day. You are in the normal range. As an Asian, you probably have 80% of the hairs on your head as a Caucasian, so you might draw the conclusion that you would lose 20% less hair each day. If you are worried, the key is to get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and determine if you are in the early stages of genetic male hair loss.
