The fullness
of our scalp hair depends on many factors.
Number (Density),
Every adult human is born with about 100,000
to 150,000 scalp hairs follicles. The number
of follicles will never increase. In fact,
the number normally decreases to about one
half that number by the age of 60. Fine
and transparent, human body hair is a vestige
of our hairier animal forebears like chimp
although the number of hair over the body
did not reduce.
Thickness (Diameter
or caliber) & length (Fine
and transparent, human body hair is a vestige
of our hairier animal forbears like chimp
although the number of hair over the body
did not reduce. This showed more skin of
human. This is similar to the situation
where number of hair implanted in scalp
is not enough to give volume thickness and
length is equally important. Thicker the
hair longer the hair better the coverage.).
Longer the hair covers more bald area.
Curl: More
the curl of the hair the better the scalp
coverage e.g. curly less number of scalp
in Negroid give better coverage than the
straight more number of hair in Caucasian.
Direction:
More the acuteness of the angle of hair
growth the more is the coverage.
Colour:
More the contrast between colours of the
scalp skin and the overlying hair the more
difficult to achieve the scalp coverage
by hair restoration.
Wet or Oily Hair:
are more likely to show up baldness
Light:
More the direct bright light more the |
