Technical
Tuesday Human Hair
During those
moments when you are putting your hair in a bun, did you ever consider the wonders
of a human hair?
Next to bone
marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body. It is made mostly of
keratin, a fibrous structural protein, which is also found in our skin and nails.
Hair grows about 0.5 inches per month, or 6 inches per year, on average. Therefore,
if you are trying to grow your hair, it will take about seven years to get it
to your waist!
Worried
about split ends? There’s a name for those:
trichoptilosis.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Anatomical Secret #26dd:
“Next to bone marrow, hair is the
fastest growing tissue in the human body.”
