​Cutting your hair does not affect how fast it will grow



You have heard that knowledge is power and when it comes to growing your hair, knowing your stuff can make the difference.


You might be wondering that hair, it just grows." But trust me there is so much more to it than that.



1. Hair is made out of Keratin



Keratin is the exact protein that we find in our outer layer of skin and our fingernails, and also surprisingly it includes animals’ hooves, claws, and feathers.


2. The maximum hair we can see is dead



The foremost hair that is not dead is the hair that is yet inside the epidermis of our scalp.


This is so incredible since we often focus on the hair which is on the exterior when we should very much assume that what we put inside our bodies straightaway affects the hair that we can see.



3. Hair may grow quicker in warmer climates



Heat encourages circulation in the body (including in the scalp) and encourages hair growth. Though this is the point, genetics and diet also play a role in our hair growth.



4. Hair contains some important elements that are used as forensic evidence in trials



Hair contains elements of what our bloodstream has contained in the past. Scientists can identify what you ate and drank as well as the environment that you lived in from only a tiny strand of hair.



5. Each strand of hair can carry up to 100 grams of weight


Let's assume, If every strand of your hair can support 100g, and people have on average 100 000 to 150 000 strands of hair on their scalp, your entire head can support the equivalent of two elephants.



6. Cutting your hair does not affect how fast it will grow



This is an unfortunate fact because many of us have been revealed the opposite and have tried to cut it too frequently.


Nevertheless, it is important to remember that separation ends will stop our hair from growing, which means that there is no other choice than to cut them when they arise.
