What is my hair thickness?

Published in Hair Density 2 mins read

Based on the provided reference, I can determine your hair thickness by observing the visibility of your scalp. Let's break down how hair thickness is categorized and what it means for you.

Understanding Hair Thickness

Hair thickness, often referred to as hair density, isn't about the diameter of individual hair strands (that's hair texture). Instead, it refers to how closely packed your hair follicles are on your scalp. Here's a breakdown based on the reference:

  • Thin Hair: If you can easily see sections of your scalp underneath or through your hair, then your hair is considered thin. The hair follicles are more sparsely distributed on your scalp.
  • Medium Hair: If you can see your scalp in some places but not others, your hair is considered to have a medium density. It is neither very thick nor very thin.
  • Thick Hair: If you can barely see your scalp, if at all, your hair is considered thick. The hair follicles are very closely packed.

How to Determine Your Hair Thickness

  1. Visual Check: Examine your scalp. Do you see a lot of skin between your hair strands, or very little?
  2. Parting Test: Create a part in your hair. How wide is the part and how much scalp is visible? A wide part with lots of visible scalp indicates thinner hair. A narrow part with minimal scalp indicates thicker hair.
  3. Comparison: If possible, compare your hair to others. This can sometimes be helpful in seeing where you fall on the hair thickness spectrum.

Practical Insight

It's important to remember that hair thickness can change over time due to factors like stress, diet, age, and hormonal changes. This means that your hair thickness may not always stay the same.

Summary Table of Hair Thickness

Hair Thickness Scalp Visibility Description
Thin Easily Visible Lots of visible scalp, hair follicles are sparse.
Medium Partially Visible Some scalp visibility, hair density is average.
Thick Barely Visible Minimal or no visible scalp, hair follicles are dense.

Since I cannot see your scalp, I cannot definitively determine your hair thickness. To answer this question accurately, you need to observe your scalp as described above and then classify your hair as either thin, medium, or thick.
