Hair Care Facts

Thick hair, Fine hair, Blonde or Dark? The average head of hair has 100,000 hairs. Redheads have the least at 80,000,brunettes have around 100,000 and blondes do not only have more fun they have most at 120,000 hairs.
Female hair grows slower than male hair, but in general men tend to go grey before women.
Why does hair go grey?
In the womb we all have white hair derive our colour from a pigment called melanin which sits in the middle layer of the hair shaft. As new hair grows melanin pigments are injected into the hair until, with age comes a reduction in melanin, and then hair starts to turn grey and eventually white.
Did you know that hair is so strong that an average head of hair could hold 10-15 tons!
