About our hair it is necessary to know a little bit more than just "skin appendage with a bulb, pigment and cuticles".
Below are a few facts about the hair, some of which I mentioned last year with my materials when actively cooperated (and more will be!) With a trichologist.
№1 fact. Hair and weather
In warm sunny weather hair grow a little faster than usual. This is due to the fact that heat stimulates blood circulation, and the sun synthesizes vitamin D3, which I have already talked in detail (who missed - link at the end of material).
During wet weather, as when wet, healthy strand of hair can stretch up to 30% more than its original length.
№2 fact. Sleeping no bulbs!
Onion - root. If the root is, it will always produce the hair shaft, even if it is defective. No sleep modes in any of the root system is not as biological alarms.
And if the root system has been replaced by connective tissue, then nothing will grow.
Better instead to believe in this nonsense about the dormant bulbs, people would have memorized 4 stages of hair life: anagen, catagen, telogen and anagen young.
Anagen - growing healthy and thick hair. Phase Duration: 5-7 years. Cells in this phase are actively dividing root hair system.
Catagen - the blood circulation stops, the root of the hair is nothing to eat, so the cells cease to divide, hair does not grow. phase Duration: about 2 weeks.
Telogen - the cells cease to divide and hair leaving us.
New anagen - the old hair has left us, but the root remains. And there may be a violation of cell division, the causes of which can be found only trichologist.
№3 fact. In ancient Rome, the hair clarified feces
In ancient Rome, blond was held in high esteem. Rich Romans even applied to the hair gold dust.
The dyes of other colors were made from berries, henna and crushed walnut shell. But clarified hair pigeon droppings.
Well, that although black ink do not have guessed from dog and human excrement, there used just leeches and Vinegar: Apply this mixture on your hair and sat in the sun for as long as it does not withered.
№4 fact. Hair because of coloring does not fall (you have to work hard)
That due to paint hair fell out, its components must reach the bulbs, which are located at a depth of 3-5 mm into the skin of the head.
If the synthetic components of paint will fall to such depths, it's not just the hair povypadali, but much more will be burned skin. We'll have to visit a doctor.
To paint penetrated to the bulbs, enough to overdo it at the time, more than specified in the instructions.
If you dye your hair yourself properly, according to instructions, will suffer only the hair shaft (and it is mainly concerned with lightening). Hair becomes porous and dry, but do not leave our skin.
№5 fact. Hair will tell a lot about a person
Hair consists of carbon (50%), oxygen (21%), nitrogen (17%), hydrogen (6%) and sulfur (5%). Five simple elements, like anything unusual. But what about the skin appendage helps criminologists and forensic scientists in solving crimes!
Hair are a lot of information about a person. Moreover, in the hair longer than just stores information about the reception of narcotics. If the blood the presence of drugs can be detected within 3 hours of the reception, in the urine - for 48 hours, then the hair, this information is stored for several months.
Funny, but the hair is not possible to determine the sex of the person, because the difference in the structure of male and female hair loss is not.
№6 fact. Black hair pigment - the most common in the world
Auburn pigment occurs in only 1% of the population, blond hair - 2%, the rest is a black pigment.
№7 fact. We split ends, dry and brittle hair have scientific terms
Split ends - trihoptiloz. Dry Hair - trihokseroz. Brittle hair - trihoporoz.
№8 fact. Many wind the self on the problem of baldness
The fact that the bathroom has accumulated a lot of hair or on the floor - not a cause for concern. Absolutely.
No need to cheat yourself that winter hair in the bathroom was small, and the spring is straight tufts emerge after each wash.
Long Hair "made up of several hair" visually. Plus, I have not met people who daily puts in a bag hair, counts them and marks the number of lost hair.
40-150 hairs a day, left our heads - this is normal.
And whether you have alopecia or not - will show trihoskopiya. And not your diamond eyes. If your city is where to make an trihoskopiyu, then ask on what device will run some diagnostics and optics. If Optics Korean - easily sign up. Koreans produce the best optics for diagnostic equipment.
Baldness becomes apparent when 50% of the lost hair.
Fact №9. Your hair will stand two elephants
Up to 150 thousand. Hair on the head of an average person. Each hair neistonchenny (0.05 mm thick) can withstand 100 grams.
Girls are afraid of silicones in hair products that vyplyamlyayut and adds shine. Like, weigh down the hair and can lead to baldness. But in fact our Patlakh can get two elephants out of the pit.
№10 fact. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) - this is not talking about serious hair loss
It's just a state, which is the most common form of hair loss.
AGA diagnosed in one in three. It's okay for the body. But I know that AGA enters into depression, and oddly enough - men.
Some people believe that genetics determines who have thick hair, and who does not. However, there is no genetic study of AGA, which would be fully justified and painted all the biological pathways associated with AGA. So far, only the assumption that gene WNT10A plot has something to do with the AHA. And as long as it appears here is "once" and "allegedly" in research - is not a complete justification, that it is all about genetics. Let us leave these stories for ordinary people.
A depressed better do not go, that's just the stress, apathy and depression greatly affects the condition of the hair. This has been proved. About interesting facts about baldness and modern methods of treatment (which can boast positive results) will tell in the next article. All with links (mainly on foreign sources).
If you are interested - put a "thumbs up" to the article, not to miss in the film materials about alopecia.
Even more useful, from perfume to life hacking, I had to Pintereste. Come, learn and be inspired! ;-)
