Introduction

Hair grows on most parts of your body, even your cheeks!

Places that your hair doesn’t grow include your lips, the

palms of your hands and the bottom of your feet.

How does hair grow?

Hair starts growing at the root which is a place

where cells stick together. When cells stick

together, they form keratin which is the protein hair

is made of. The root is inside a follicle which is like

a small pipe in your skin. When hair starts to grow,

it pushes up from the root and out of the follicle.

Miniature blood vessels at the base of a follicle feed

the hair root so it keeps growing. When your hair

reaches your skin's surface, the cells in the strand

of hair die which is why it doesn’t hurt when you

get your hair cut.

Oil glands

Nearly every hair follicle is connected to a sebaceous

gland, more commonly known as a oil gland. Oil

glands produce oil, which makes hair shiny and a tiny bit waterproof.

Falling Off

There are more than 100,000 hairs on your head and you

lose from 50-100 every day. Each hair on your head grows for about 2-6 years

then it rests for a few months then falls off.

Colours

There are lots of different hair colours. Hair comes

from melanin, which is the substance that gives hair

its colour. People with lighter hair have less melanin

and people with darker hair has more melanin. When

you get older you start to lose melanin which is why

older people have grey or white hair. Usually your

hair colour matches your skin colour. For example,

people with darker skin usually have darker hair and

people with lighter skin have less melanin.

Conclusion

Here’s a way to have great hair: eat a healthy diet!

A nutritious diet helps your body inside and out!
