I love hair and find the facts about hair interesting.
A curling iron was invented in 1875 by a Frenchman marcel grateau
Your chance of going gray increases 10-20% every decade after 30 years old
The average life span of a hair is between 4 and 7 years
Hair grows approximately 1/2 inch per month
Pulling out 1 grey hair does not cause 7 more to grow back lol
Hair is as strong as aluminium
Hair growth is fastest between the ages of 15 and 30
Lice does not occur beause of dirt or a lack of hygiene lice can be spread by using the same combs brushes and gowns
Darker hair contains higher levels of carbon than blonde hair
Normally due to the higher levels of female hormones estrogens, the hair growth cycle of the hair is slower in women than in men
Redheads have an average of 90,000 hairs
Blondes have an average of 140.000 hairs
Canities is the technical term for grey hair
Hair grows faster by day than night
Hair grows faster in summer than winter
When a man loses his hair or goes bald,it isn't actually permanent it's dormant
Hair can hold one third it's weight in absorbed moisture
Hair contains trace amounts of magnesium arsenic iron chromium and other metals and minerals
The level system of hair colour I.e. the 1-10 scale, used to measure depth was originally developed by law enforcement officials to help identify suspected criminals
Trichoptilosis is the technical term for split ends
The greyish appearance of hair is an optical illusion produced by a mix of coloured hair with white hair
Average density is 1,000 hairs per square inch
