During this test, the collector will cut between 100 and 120 hairs from your head. Generally, at least 1.5 inches of hair from the head is needed to perform this test. The collector may take hair from different spots on your head to avoid creating an appearance of a bold spot. If an individual has very little or no hair on their head, the collector might use body hair instead i.e. chest, leg or arm pit.
