Hair Facts
There are about 5 million hair follicles on the body with a total of 1 million residing on the scalp. That is the largest amount of hair humans will ever have because we do not generate new hair follicles at anytime during the course of our lives. Hair follicles are formed as early as 22 weeks of a developing fetus. Hair grows .3 to .4 mm per day and 6 inches per year. They are 3 phases of hair growth anagen, the active phase where hair grows 1 cm every 28 days and lasts for 2-6 years catagen, the transitional stage which lasts from 2-6 weeks and telogen, the resting stage

When I say hair type I don’t mean if your hair is soft or long, hair type as in what is your hairs classification. Altogether they are 4 different classifications of hair and within those 4 each number are broken down into 3 categories. The hair types are 1 1A 1B 1C, which is straight hair 2 2A 2B 2C is wavy hair, 3 3A 3B 3C is curly, and 4 4A 4B 4C is kinky curly. According to F.I.A hair typing system, they are fine, medium, and coarse along with, thin 2inches, normal 2-4inches, and thick 4inches. You should be able to tell what hair type you are by pulling one strand of you hair out your head when preferable when it is wet and look at the
This cycle tends to last anywhere from five to seven years and is shorter for hair on the eyebrows, armpits and pubic area. Inside the bulb of each hair is a component called the dermal papilla which controls the hair growth while the matrix of the hair, which contains a large amount of epidermal cells that rapidly divide, is responsible for the length of the hair. Next is the catagen phase which is characterized as a transition period between the anagen and telogen phases. At this time the hair bulbs are pushed out in order to become keratinized and the hair appears short and thick. This phase tends to only last between two and three weeks. During the telogen phase, no new cell division occurs, which means that the length of the hair remains the same. This pause allows the dermal papilla to fill up the matrix with new cells in preparation for the anagen phase to begin again. This phase can last between three and nine months. After this phase, the anagen phase begins again. The telogen phase is periodically followed by shedding, or exogen. This leads to the last phase, the exogen phase. This phase is characterized by the shedding of hair. Each day about one hundred hairs are shed from the average individual’s scalp. The shaft of the hair is shed and the follicle remains. Despite the fat that the exogen phase usually follows the telogen phase, there are exceptions when it does not, resulting in hair follicles needing to go

Most patients have only a few focal areas of alopecia, and spontaneous regrowth usually occurs within 1 year. In such patients, psychological counselling may be needed due to loss of self- esteem.
In conclusion, the question of how hair texture among an ethnicity is determined has yet to be answered. However, new developments such as the evidence that all humans have the same single origin in Africa and mutations in the P2RY5 gene can determine the hair texture of a human, have shown that researchers are quite close in determining the hair texture of an ethnicity. These developments have the possibility of leading to new hair removal and hair growth treatments. The future looks bright for hair research and hopefully in the next 20-50 years the question is answered.
Throughout the years we see different trends, styles, and taste's that apply to what society accepts as attractive at their moment. Some people choose more conservative looks whereas other generations were far more liberal in their way of dressing and styling their hair.

Whether it is hereditary, stress, diet, medications, health issues, child birth, rapid weight loss, hormones, physical trauma or a combination of many, people who suffer hair loss have many options from oral and topical treatments such as minoxidil, non-surgical hair replacements such as hairpieces to surgical hair restorations also know as hair transplants. Many of the options available for hair loss can be very time consuming and costly, but many people suffering hair loss are willing to spend the money and try anything that claims to help. Ultimately, the most important thing for people who suffer from hair loss is to be educated on what options they have and what solutions are going to have the greatest possibility of providing successful results for their specific needs.
Thick, luscious locks are often associated with youth, health, success, and attractiveness. In fact, our society places great importance on hair and many individuals feel that it plays an important role in their identity. As a result, regardless of one’s age or gender, hair loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s self-esteem. Unfortunately, thinning hair is relatively common amongst both men and women as it is caused by several factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, poor diet, medications, medical conditions, and, most often, genetics. Since in most instances, hair loss is a progressive process, it is important to take action if you are troubled by thinning hair. If you are searching for a hair loss solution, you may come
Expert gynecologist James Clark stated, “Next to the bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.” Many people believe that an individual can speed up the hair growth process by buying products for their hair or giving it a trim every once in a while. Researchers have stated that hair will not grow faster and that genetics play a huge role in this. An individual cannot simply force their hair to grow faster. The hair must go through the three certain growth phases to grow which will be discussed later. Shampoos and other chemicals to make an individuals hair grow faster is just wasting the individuals money. Many hair specialists explain that instead of trying to quickly grow out hair unnaturally, an individual should eat healthy with a balanced diet to grow healthy hair. Since hair is already a dead cell, it will not absorb vitamins or other nutrients that an individual wants to achieve (Hoffenstein 42). The healthier the hair, the more likely it will grow longer. There are many myths about how a person could speed up their hair growth such as trimming the hair or buying special hair treatments; however, many researchers, trichologists, and individuals believe that hair grows at a certain speed based on an individuals stress, hygiene, and genetics.
... ranging anywhere between 3.5 to 6.0 and are used to restore the pH balance after an alkaline treatment. Conditioners also keep cuticle layers from getting caught which keeps hair from tangling and reduce static electricity in the hair by sealing in moisture. There are many different types of conditioners aimed toward people with different hair textures. For example, protein conditioners are designed to slightly increase the diameter of the hair by adding a special coating to it. These conditioners are deigned to pass through the cuticle, penetrate the cortex, and replace any keratin that has been lost from hair.
At some point in a woman's life, she is, if like most women, unhappy with her hair. A woman with straight hair wishes for curly ringlets. A woman with curly hair wants stick-straight locks. Thick and coarse desires to be fine and thinner. Fine and thin begs for thick hair.
Hair is an important part of our body. It can be found anywhere and can be a useful evidence in forensic science. It consists of three layers, namely cuticle, cortex and medulla. Cuticle- is a covering that consists of hard scales made of keratin, which is a protein approaching tip ends of the hair. There are three types of cuticle: coronal, imbricated and spinous types. Cortex consists of stretched out beam shaped cells, buried with pigment granules for hair to cede with color and is the main body of the hair shaft. It may also contain pigment granula, ovoid bodies and cortical fusi (Wright, 2008). Furthermore, medulla can be categorized into continuous, fragmental, absent and interrupted types. If medulla
They have several different factors that determine hair color such as melanin containing iron and sulfur. If there is a lack of melanin, the hair will be white or gray. Stem cells located in the dermis are responsible for the production of hair. The shape and texture of the hair follicle determine an individual’s hair. The growth process of hair goes through the following three phases. The anagen phase which takes approximately twenty eight days and grows about one centimeter. The catagen phase lasts for approximately two to three weeks and the blood supply to the hair is cut off. The telogen phase is the final phase also known as the resting phase, lasting approximately three
