More Quick Facts: Human Hair
Hair grows with about 1 cm every month.
Hair is made mostly of a protein called keratin.
Human facial hair grows faster than any other hair on the body.
On average, we lose 50 to 100 strands of hair a day from the scalp.
Human hair grows faster in warm weather because it stimulates hair growth.
Cutting your hair does not affect in any way the rate of hair growth, nor its texture.
The person on the average has up to 100,000 to 150,000 hair strands on his or her head.
There are two main types of hair that the body produces, vellus hair and terminal (or androgenic) hair.
Hair fibers or strands, grow from an organ in the area under the skin called a follicle, which is found in the dermis skin layer.
The only "living" part of a hair is found in the follicle as it grows. The hair strand above the skin has no biochemical activity and so is considered "dead".
On average, the lifespan of a human hair is 2 to 7 years. The hair on our scalp goes through 3 phases, the anagen phase, catagen phase, and telogen phase.
The cross-section of a hair strand is made up of 3 key layers. The outer layer is called the cuticle, within that is the cortex (which contains the keratin), while the center layer is called the medulla.
Goose bumps which form on skin when the body is cold are created when muscles attached to hair follicles stand up, which causes hair in these follicles to also stand, creating a heat-trapping layer in the skin.
