ONE

The animal with the greatest hair density is not the mouse.  Not the persian cat either.  Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is the chinchilla.  With more than 40,000 hairs per square inch chinchillas have the highest fur density of any animal. Their fur is so dense that skin parasites (such as fleas) cannot live on one because they would suffocate. Whereas humans grow one hair from each follicle, a chinchilla produces more than fifty hairs from a single follicle!

Glancing in the mirror, some of us may not have that much on top right now, but the average human has about 100,000 hairs – though brunettes have 10,000 more and redheads 10,000 fewer. In fact, though with much finer caliber body hair, humans have about the same number of hair follicles overall as a chimpanzee!

THREE

Since hair is the non-living portion of the structure, cutting hair does not influence its growth.

FOUR 

Be careful what you ingest, smoke, eat, drink or expose yourself to.  An incomplete list of easily discernible substances which can be found through hair follicle drug testing include cocaine, marijuana, opiates, methamphetamine and phencyclidine (PCP).

FIVE

Despite marketing claims to the contrary, nothing can fix split ends in hair.  The only cure is a pair of scissors.  

SIX

Hair turns gray because the pigment cells known as melanin in your hair follicles eventually cease to function properly. The hair bulb usually degrades in production as you age -- but this process can be accelerated by stress!

SEVEN 

Typically, you have to lose almost 50% of your hair before most people will notice that you are balding.  So the moral to the story is, take action sooner to preserve as much hair as possible.

EIGHT

Aside from bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.  This is also why chemotherapy causes hair loss -- because the drugs are designed to kill rapidly proliferating cells!

NINE

Each follicle will grow many hairs over a lifetime.  On average, each produces viable hair growth for three to five years.  So you can expect your follicles to grow a brand new hair around twenty times!

TEN

Hair loss becomes far more common as we age.  By the time we are 50, 50% of us will experience visible hair loss --- but here's the surprising thing.  This statistic also includes women!  Yes, statistically speaking, just as many fifty year old women suffer from hair loss as men.  Difference is, women don't have a receding hair line.  Instead, female pattern hair loss constitutes a general loss of density spread evenly across the top of the scalp.  Eventually, so much density is lost that the scalp becomes visible.  Here's another related fact.  The same biochemical and genetic factors influence female hair loss as those that affect males.  The good news?  Females respond to treatment as well as men, sometimes even better.  So whether your a man or woman concerned about hair loss, consider HairGenesis® --- the only safe and effective non-drug naturally derived hair loss treatment supported with multiple peer-reviewed and published medical studies.
