The average human head has 100,000 strands so even 1,000 strands is only 1%. For perspective

More perspective, the average varies. Thoroughbreds like red heads average 90K versus blondes 150K. Mutts like me find themselves somewhere in the middle. Based on my own strand thickness and ponytail circumference I estimate about 125K, give or take.

Please relax about your hair or you'll never enjoy it

ok thanks guys I just was upset because I thought it would make my hair look thinner on one side, it might of been like 3 or 4 strands not sure. My haitr is quite fine and curly/wavy but I have a lot of it. I don't think it's noticeable really maybe it's just paranoia.

We generally say treat your hair like old lace, but hair can withstand a lot.

There is no need to be so frightened almost of it.

Enjoy it. Post about the good things, rather than the frightening moments. That's my motto.

And, they say you have to lose a significant percentage of your hair before it actually looks noticeably thinner.
