 HOW MUCH HAIR IS SHED? Source: Brian W T Plunkett MIT MRIPHH of The Oxford Hair Foundation, Queens’ College, Oxford University, England 1. Every human being sheds 100-150 hairs each and every day 2. Hair shedding is constant throughout the day 3. In an 8 hour shift, per 100 workers, 3,300 to 5,000 potential contaminants will be shed. 4. Both short and long hairs are shed the same 5. However short hairs being smaller, are not seen as much 6. Short hairs protrude through head coverings twice as often as longer hairs – Source University of Bolton, UK
