The average human scalp has about 100,000 to 150,000 hair strands. This number can vary depending on factors such as hair color, genetics, and age:

  • Blondes tend to have more hair strands (around 150,000).
  • Brunettes have about 100,000 to 110,000.
  • Redheads usually have fewer, around 90,000.

Each hair strand grows from a follicle, and the density can vary from person to person. Hair naturally sheds daily, about 50 to 100 strands, which is part of the normal hair growth cycle. If you want, I can also share tips on how to care for your hair or how to estimate your own hair count!
