What you want to know about hair..
Hair. It’s everywhere isn’t it? But there are some interesting facts about hair that most people have never seen. All the kids these days have the longest hair we’ve seen (and not just in girls). Don’t you stick your hair in your mouth sometimes? Do you really want to do that? Do you really know what hair is made out of?
Fact 1: I love to stick my hair in my mouth, it taste good.
Your hair is actually made of dead hair cells (fibrous protein). This means every time you put your hair in your mouth, its like you’re sucking on dead skin (think of the stuff when you scape your self)!
Fact 2: I’m a real man!
Dihydrotestosterone, which is a male hormone, is responsible for hair loss. In other words, you guys that are bald or have hair loss around the age of 20. But did you want to know that the hair follicles feeds off the blood from your brain area.
Fact 3: There’s always hair on the back of my shirt!
A human will shed around 100 peices of hair everyday. The thinner your hair, the more you will lose in a day, but you will grow it faster then people with thick hair. Tip of adivce, check your shirt often for alot of hair.
Fact 4: Why is my hair black? Diamonds and hair?
Ever wonder why when you burn something it turns black? Ever wonder why your hair is black? Well the simple answer is carbon. Your hair is made out of 50 percent of it, so half of your hair is made out of what diamonds are made from.
Fact 5: How much hair and where?
The average person will grow 1.5 inches of hair each month which accelerates from the age of 15-30. That’s something you want to know! Something you don’t want to know is that each square inch of your head has around 1000 strands of hair. Sucks to have a big head.
Fact 6: What do colors have to do with hair?
- Redheads have about 90,000 strands.
- Black have around 108,000 strands.
- Brown will have about 140,000 strands.
- Blonde have the most at 140,000 strands.
No wonder why redheads always seem so bald and blonde’s seem so to have long hair (even guys). Did you know each of those strands of hair have a small muscle each? That’s around 100,000 muscles to control. Good thing you can’t control them!
Fact 7: How stretchy is your hair?
Another thing that you probably did not want to know is that your hair when wet can stretch twice its length. No wonder your hair seems longer in the pool! When dry it will break when only going about 10% of its length… Interesting..
Bonus Fact:
The longest hair ever grown was around 18 feet in China by a girl back in 2004.
