5 Fascinating Facts About Your Hair That Will Leave You Amazed!

Hair is something we all have, yet how much do we truly know about it? Beyond its role in personal style, hair possesses fascinating qualities that might surprise you. Let's delve into some intriguing facts about those strands on your head.

1. Redheads are Rare Gems

Only 1-2% of the global population has natural red hair, making it the rarest hair color in the world. Blonde comes in second at around 2%, while black and brown take the top spots.

2. Hair is Always Growing

At any given time, 90% of your hair is actively growing, while the other 10% is in a resting phase before it eventually sheds. It’s a natural process—so losing 40 to 150 strands daily is nothing to stress over!

3. Hair is Strong

When wet, hair can stretch up to 30% of its original length without breaking. Furthermore, a single strand of hair is stronger than a copper wire of the same diameter.

4. Hair Has a Lifespan

Each strand of hair has a lifespan of about 2-7 years before falling out to make room for new growth. The length depends on your genes, hair care routine, and overall health.

5. Hair Has a Cultural Significance  

In the Victorian era, people had brooches, pendants and watch fobs made from the hair of lost loved ones as a stylish way of paying homage.
