Hair FACTS

Hair is made from the same substance as fingernails.

Hair will fall out faster on a person that is on a crash diet

Humans have about the same number of hair follicles as a chimpanzee has.

Next to bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.

The average human scalp has 100,000 hairs

The reason why hair turns gray as we age is because the pigment cells in the hair follicle start to die, which is responsible for producing "melanin" which gives the hair colour.
