Question

Why do long-haired people shed so many individual hairs everyday and yet they don’t go bald?

In: Biology

Answer 1

They shed the same as people with short hair. But most of the hair lost in long hair daily is not due to falling out but due to breakage (because it’s easier to damage) and there’s simply more of it, so you see it.
