6 Crazy Hair Facts You May Not Know

You may think you know a lot about hair, but it's quite possible you never heard the following six crazy facts about hair.

1. Hydrogen bonds are changed and hair shape is altered by blow-drying. Our hair is flatter when we get out of the shower because water also changes hydrogen bonds. This probably explains the humidity issues so many of us complain about.
2. 100 grams of weight can be supported by a single strand of hair. Mathematically, and visually, that means that the 100,000-150,000 strands of hair on your head have the ability to support the weight of two elephants!
3. Red is the rarest hair color while black is the most common. The second most rare is blonde. Only 2% of the population has naturally blonde hair, while only 1% of the world's population has red hair.
4. If you can see the hair, it's dead. In fact, only the hair hidden in the scalp's epidermis is still living. This is mind-blowing because we worry so much about the dead hair without considering what we are putting inside our bodies that can affect the hair that still has life.
5. Hair is stretchier than we imagine. Ever notice that wet hair, when it has just been cut, seems longer than when it's dry? That's because your hair can stretch up to 30% longer when wet.
6. Keratin is a big component of hair. In fact, your hair consists mostly of Keratin. That's the same protein that makes up your fingernails as well as animals' hooves, feathers, and claws.

Now that you've learned a few interesting things about your hair, it's probably a good time to book a consultation with one of our stylists so you can discuss what style and/or color best suits your hair type, facial shape, personality, and lifestyle.
