No, hair is not counted when measuring height. Your height is determined by the length of your body, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head, excluding any hair.
Here's why:
- Consistency: If hair was included, height would fluctuate constantly based on hairstyles, hair growth, and even the presence of hats or headwear. This would make height measurements unreliable and inconsistent.
- Standardized Measurement: Height is officially measured using a stadiometer, a tool that measures the distance from the floor to the top of the head. This standard practice doesn't account for hair length.
- Anatomical Definition: Height refers to the skeletal structure of the body, not the hair which is an external feature.
Therefore, hair is a separate characteristic and does not contribute to an individual's measured height.
