FACTS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE HUMAN HAIR

FACTS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE HUMAN HAIR.

Where should we start this fact poll from? Things you never knew about the human hair, your hair.
Things you never paid attention to about your hair.
Well some tiny things might be very important and unnoticed.

Let's kick up with this.

Do you even know the hair is a tissue? Were you ever thinking it was an organ?
Come on, tell me what came to your mind. You felt it was a bone? No, I doubt that.
For the records, let this sink. The human hair is the fastest growing tissue the human body has.
The major constituent of the human hair is Keratin, the same keratin is present in the nails. Even the outer skin would be a field keratin if it were a plant.

What? Don't move! I'm about to tell you something you never paid attention to about your hair.
Yeah, the very one on your head.

Do you know it grows 3-5 millimeter per day, 125 centimeters or 0.5 inches per month? It can even grow as long as 6 inches per year.

I will tell you a few more things and I'd be done with this fact poll or whatever I named this at the start.

Take a deep breath. It won't hurt.

Wanted to talk about hair growth mechanism, I know you must be wondering?- What do I do to make my hair grow faster?

Wait! Do you know cutting your hair is healthy for it? You only think it makes it get shorter, but there's more! You see, everytime you cut your hair, it helps prevent hair-end splits, making the hair shafts go thinner.

Back to why we came to school! 😂😂

Five tips to make your hair grow faster:

1. FOOD RECIPE
   I told you the hair is made up of Keratin.
   That's protein for you.
   The hair is basically made up of Keratin protein, so you adding a bit more of protein to your diet won't hurt you.
   It'd make your hair grow faster.

2. MASSAGE:
   What do you think about massaging your scalp with your fingertips?
   Sounds great! This would stimulate blood circulation and get oil off the scalp, making the root strong and the hair itself stay moist. It also prevents dust.

3 AVOID WASHING TOO OFTEN.
Ladies think washing their hair often with shampoo would make it look more beautiful. Yes, it would, but it has a lot of side effects.
The shampoo makes the hair dry faster, thus making it lose its natural oil.
Using shampoo is no issue if properly used. It shouldn't be used too often and over done.

AVOID BRUSHING TOO OFTEN

Brushing the hair is a good routine.
It goes a long way in making your scalp release more natural oils.
But doing this too hard would make the hair break.
Would you like that?

DRINK MORE WATER
DRINK IT REGULARLY

Water helps to keep your body hydrated and fit. Well, your hair is part of the body, so water is needed to keep it hydrated.

Cheers.
