1. The normal scalp contains approximately 100,000 - 150,000 hair follicles

2. Each hair consist of 3 layers : cuticle, cortex, and medulla

3. The cuticle is in the outside layer that defines the meaning of hair flexibility.

4. The cortex is in the middle layer that gives strength to your hair.

5. Hair is made of keratin, the same substance that forms nails and the barrier at the top of the skin.

6. Water composition in your hair can reach 30%, which mean very good to create moist hair.

7. Normally, your hair will fall around 50-100 hair follicles.

8. Scalp does regenerate. The cycle of hair growth happens every 28 days.

9. Dandruff (also called scurf and historically termed Pityriasis capitis) is due to the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp.

10. Normally, due to the higher levels of female hormones Estrogens, the growth cycle of hair is slower in women than in men.

11. Scientists tell us hair is as strong as aluminum, can hold one third its weight in absorbed moisture and can be stretched to one and a half times its length, when wet

12. It grows faster in summer than winter, and faster by day than by night.

13. Cutting can help your hair grow longer than it could before, but it doesn’t make it grow faster.

14. Pulling out 1 gray hair does NOT cause 7 to grow back. What it will do however is cause damage to the root preventing any other hairs to grow back.

15. Your chance of going gray increases 10-20% every decade after 30 years.
