Did you mean Cumulative Hair Thickness?

GlossaryCumulative Hair Thickness

total thickness of all hair strands in a specific area

Cumulative Hair Thickness refers to the total thickness of all individual hair strands on a specific area of the scalp or body. It is calculated by summing the diameters of each hair strand in that area. This measurement can provide insights into hair density and overall hair health, which can be useful for diagnosing conditions like alopecia or assessing the effectiveness of hair treatments.
