Why do long-haired people shed so many individual hairs everyday and yet they don’t go bald?
In: Biology
Hairs have a life cycle and fall out and are replaced by new ones. Up to 200 hairs fall out per day, but new ones grow in their place, which is why long hair isn’t all the same length. You have about 100,000 hairs on your head, so there’s no danger of going bald through regular moulting at that rate.
