When you lose hair you usually lose between 125 to 140 hairs each day but as those hairs are being lost new hairs are growing in their place.

So the amount of hairs that are growing on your head per day could be between 125 to 140 hairs per day.

But the human head contains around 100,000 hairs on their head and all those hairs are usually growing out of your head at a rate of a half inch per month or six inches in one year.
