Facts you should know about hair

Illustrative photo

Hairs are internal structures that grow from follicles, which are located deep in the skin.

Each follicle contains a specialized cell called a "keratinocyte" that produces keratin, a protein that helps form and structure hair.

Hair grows on average about 0.5 to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) per month.

Growth occurs in different cycles, including growth (anagen), resting (telogen), and shedding (catagen) phases.

Hair plays an important role in many aspects of our lives, such as protection, personal identity and culture.

Hair helps protect the head from the sun and injuries.

Also, they are an important part of the cultural and personal identity of individuals. Styles help manifest style and individuality.

Hair care

Proper hair care includes regular washing, using the right shampoo and conditioner, and helping the hair with moisturizing and protective products.

Healthy hair often has a natural shine and looks soft. Several factors, such as poor diet, stress, and the use of harsh products, can negatively affect hair health.

Ultimately, hair is an important aspect of the human body that encompasses not only biology, but also culture and social identity./ Adapted from CNA
