Hair density means the density of the hair i.e. how thick the hair is. According to research, there can be 80,000 to 120,000 hairs on the scalp. The density of hair depends on its length, color, texture, and thickness. However, the density of hair is different for every person. According to a 2017 research, the hair density of people of Hispanic origin was compared with people of African or Caucasian origin. The study found that people of African descent had the lowest hair density and Caucasian people had the highest.

The most accurate, but least practical, way to measure your hair density is to count individual hairs in a 1-inch by 1-inch section of your head. Researchers usually use an imaging technique called trichoscopy in the laboratory to understand this. An imaging technique called phototrichogram is used to measure hair density. This technique is considered helpful to researchers in measuring hair density and hair growth stages.

To check hair density at home, you can also get an idea by looking carefully. If you can see your scalp without moving the hair, it means the hair density is low. Whereas if you check by removing hair, it means that the hair density is somewhere in the middle and the condition of not being able to see the scalp indicates that your hair density is good.

Apart from this test, you can also do a ponytail test. For this, you will have to make a ponytail and then check its thickness. If you want, you can also do the ponytail test in the following way -

Ponytail Circumference

Hair Density

less than 2 inches

Low density

2-3 inches

Medium density

4 inches

High density

This test can give you an idea of the density of your hair, but the thickness of each hair also plays a role in determining the thickness of your ponytail. However, this test works only when your hair is long enough to make a ponytail. If you are still having trouble determining the density of your hair, you can consult a stylist or hairdresser.
