Answer:

So, basically, you can do this:

500,001*14<6,550,000.

This works because there is one person that can have 0 hairs, 1 hair, 2 hair and so on until we reach 500,000 hairs. Then, there has to be a repeat. So, we can do this fourteen times. Then, we can see that there are at least 14 people with a certain amount of hairs.
