Here I’ve compiled 7 of the most interesting facts about the human hair. Number 5 is my personal favorite.
#THE ANTICIPATION OF SEX MAKES HAIR GROW FASTER.
WHAT?? Yeah! That was my first reaction seeing this. But Trichologists tell us that sexual anticipation makes our hair grow faster. That is, anticipation for sex is another booster for hair growth. Lol. Want your hair to grow faster? Yeah!! You know what to do.
#ALL HAIR THAT WE SEE IS DEAD.
The only hair that is not dead is the hair that is still inside the epidermis of our scalp. This is so surprising since we often focus on the hair that's on the outside, when we should very much be concerned about the fact that what we put inside our bodies directly affects the hair that we can see.
#HAIR CAN BE USED AS CLASS EVIDENCE
Our hair contains important information that can be used as forensic evidence in trials. Scientists say that our hair contains information on what our bloodstream has contained in the past. Scientists can know what you ate and drank as well as the environment that you lived in from only a tiny strand of hair!
#HAIR GROWTH
It takes about 7 years to grow your hair up to your waistline, and about 3 years to grow it to your shoulders!
#TRACES OF GOLD ON HAIR
Each strand of the human hair contains up to 14 different natural elements, including traces of gold! This only tells of the creativeness, beauty and love of our creator.
#HOW MUCH HAIR WE CARRY
We have more hair on our scalps than we can imagine. The average person has over 100,000 - 150,000 strands of hair on her head. Although 40 – 150 strands of hair is lost daily.
#HAIR GROWTH IS FAST!
The hair is the second fastest growing tissue in the human body aside the human tissue.
