Mostly True global

A human hair with a thickness of 0.05 cm can support up to 100 grams of weight.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (68/100).

The claim that a single human hair can support up to 100 grams of weight is partially corroborated by available web evidence, which suggests that an individual hair strand can support about 3.5 ounces (approximately 100 grams). However, this is based on general approximations and specific conditions like hair strength and environmental factors are not detailed in the sources. Therefore, while the evidence leans towards supporting the claim, without specific fact-check references or confirmations from authoritative scientific sources, the final fact score reflects some uncertainty.
