Shouldn’t Losing 100 Hairs a Day for Asians Be Considered Thinning?
(female) I am aware that dropping a 100 hairs a day is normal. However, when I met a trichologist about 2 years ago, she told me that for Asians, a 100 hairs is considered a sign of hair thinning. This is because that most tests are done on Caucasians and they have apparently more hair on their scalp. The ideal would be 50 hairs per day for Asians. What are your views on this?
Assuming that you have a typical density for an Asian (1.6 hairs per square mm on average) then I would expect your daily loss of hair would be about 80 hairs.
