10 Fun Facts You May Not Know About Hair
Heat stimulates circulation in the body (including in the scalp) and encourages hair growth. Though this is the case, genetics and diet also play a role in our hair growth - obviously!
Have you ever been disappointed when you realized that your recently cut wet hair seemed longer? Then discovered it suddenly shrunk when the hairstylist blow-dried it? Don't worry it's not just you - this happens because water stretches hair to be longer than it naturally is!
1% of the world's population has natural red hair and the second most rare hair color is blonde (2% of the world's population). Dark hair colors are the most common with black being the most common. Embrace your natural hair, no matter what color it is!
Scary fact: hair contains information on what your 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!
To put this into perspective, let’s use a mental image. If every strand of your hair can support 100g, and people have on average 100 000 to 150 000 strands of hair on their scalp, your entire head can support the equivalent of two elephants - yikes!!
The fastest is the bone marrow.
Water also changes the hydrogen bonds, which makes our hair flatter when we take a shower. This may explain why some women hate humidity – the water in the air changes the silkiness, as well as structure of the hair causing some hair to become frizzy or puffy.
This is an unfortunate fact because many of us have been told the opposite and have attempted to cut it too often. However, it is important to remember that split ends willstop our hair from growing, which means that there is no other option than to cut them when they arise.
