eli5: If we lose up to 200 hairs a day on our head, how are we not all bald by the time we’re in our 20’s?
In: Biology
I used to live with a girl who would get up earlier than me and use the shower. When I went into the shower each day it looked like someone had been shaving a bison in there. The drain was clogged with hair, there would be some stuck on the walls and shower curtain, and there would usually be a hairbrush completely wrapped in it too.
Somehow she didn’t go bald and to this day seems to have a full head of hair, so I’m guessing it somehow grows back just as fast as she loses it.
