- The hair is made up of two distinct parts: the hair of hair that we can see with the naked eye (and which is a dead substance made up of proteins) and bulb which is located inside the scalp, ie the place where regeneration occurs.
- The hair consists of three layers: the medullary layer (center), the cortex and the cuticle. The cortex is made of keratin and it gives the hair physical and mechanical properties such as elasticity or curls.
- Cuticles they are superimposed cells arranged like the tiles of a roof in 6-10 layers, and they are responsible for the way the hair looks. Once damaged, they cannot be repaired.
- Researchers have discovered in the case of people with natural hair and who has never been dyed, another element - Layer F - demonstrating that the surface of the cuticles is covered with a hydrophobic layer with a protective role that gives fineness and smooth texture to the hair. Layer F is permanently removed when you first use the permanent paint.
- Did you know that all Natural hair colors are made up of only two pigments: pheomelanin (yellow) and eumelanin (dark brown to black), and the combination of these two shades results in all natural hair colors from light blond to African black or British red?
- E.g, redheads have the lowest hair density, followed by brunettes / brunettes and then blondes who have the highest number of hairs.
- Did you know that we are born with a fixed number of follicles that remain constant from birth? On average on The human scalp contains between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs, and every day we lose between 50 and 100 threads, which is absolutely normal and not at all worrying.
- It is a false myth that hairs that fall with the root no longer grow. The hair is in a continuous process of regeneration and therefore the strands do not grow simultaneously.
- Hair has an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years, and after the fall other threads take their place. A follicle produces about 20 hairs in its lifetime.
- The role of sebum is to protect the scalp against drying and dehydration and to give it a natural shine.
- Is a with false the one according to which The more often you wash your head, the faster your hair will thicken. Hair thickening is not affected by washing hair, but by the sebaceous glands and the activity of the sebaceous glands can be influenced only by internal factors such as hormonal changes or diet.
- It is recommended to wash your hair 2-3 times a week, because a tangled hair will be prone to fall because it is suffocated by excess sebum and the microbes that are abstracted and retained by it. Washing your hair will free your scalp and help you breathe.
- Dandruff is caused by the fungus Malassezia and it is not a disease, but a condition of the scalp. This fungus is present in the scalp of each of us and feeds on sebum. In the conditions of the existence of an excess of sebum, Malassezia launches its attack multiplying beyond measure and leading to the appearance of those flakes.
- Did you know that cold, dry winters or prolonged exposure to dust or sun can worsen the symptoms caused by the Malassezia fungus?
- Dermatologists do not recommend the use of baby remedies such as vinegar or olive oil to remove dandruff because these two can aggravate the situation: while olive oil helps the proliferation of the fungus, vinegar acts like an acid worsening the condition of the scalp.
- Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition of the scalp characterized by white, greasy or dry skin. When they come off the scalp, red spots remain in their place. Dandruff is the mildest form of seborrheic dermatitis. None of them are contagious.
- Another with false is the one according to which if you pluck a strand of white hair they will grow two in its place. Only one hair can come out of a follicle, so if you break a white hair, it will be replaced by a single strand of hair that will also be white.
- Did you know that gray hair grows faster than pigmented hair? The white threads grow faster but only with 8%, which means that in 6 weeks a white thread will grow 16mm, and a pigmented one only 14.8mm.
- You also need to know that the structure of the hair changes when it loses its natural pigment, making it much stiffer and rougher. Because white threads have lower concentrations of iron, zinc and magnesium (elements that normally facilitate coloring), dyeing brown hair is more difficult and the color is lost more easily.
- And if you are wondering how to sleep better: with your hair loose or loose, find out that Geta Voinea recommends sleeping with him in a light tail.
All the above information is taken from the book that Geta Voinea published in 2009 at Curtea Veche publishing house, “By the way, by the hair ”. Initially I wanted to continue the tradition and tell you only 15 things about hair, but the book is full of useful information, so I "supplemented" with 5 more curiosities.
Believe me, I wrote only half of the things I selected for this article above, but this book was written to be bought so it's not nice to reveal too many secrets. You can buy it online of here at a promotional price.
I also recommend that you read the article 15 things you didn't know about your body!
