This measurement is not precise because human hair varies in diameter, ranging anywhere from 17 μm to 181 μm [millionths of a metre] [8] One nominal value often chosen is 75 micrometres (0.0030 in), [5] but this – like other measures based upon such highly variable natural objects, including the barleycorn [9] – is subject to a fair degree of imprecision.
100 μm – average diameter of a strand of human hair [25] 100 μm – thickness of a coat of paint; 100 μm – length of a dust particle; 120 μm – the geometric mean of the Planck length and the diameter of the observable universe: √ 8.8 × 10 26 m × 1.6 × 10 −35 m; 120 μm – diameter of a human ovum
Oval and other shaped fibers are generally more wavy or curly. The cuticle is the outer covering. Its complex structure slides as the hair swells and is covered with a single molecular layer of lipid that makes the hair repel water. [7] The diameter of human hair varies from 0.017 to 0.18 millimeters (0.00067 to 0.00709 in). [10]
In everyday conversation, and in informal literature, it is common to see lengths measured in units of objects of which everyone knows the approximate width. Common examples are: Double-decker bus (9.5–11 meters in length) American football field (100 yards in length) Thickness of a human hair (around 80 micrometers)
