.
90
For a healthy individual with no hair diseases, hair fiber is very strong with tensile strength around 1.6 x10-9 N / m2 = copper wire of the same diameter.
.
91
So how does hair break if it is so strong?
.
92
It depends on the speed at which the pulling force is applied to the hair. slowly and steadily with gradual increasing force, the hair ......
.
93
But sudden force and yank on the hair will break.
.
94
So despite the apparent strength of hair, it will break if you brush or comb too vigorously because this applies a sudden force to the hair.
.
95
Can you hang by your hair ?
.
96
The short answer is, yes.
.
97
The primary limiting factor is the .......l rather than the strength of hair.
.
98
For a healthy individual with no hair diseases, hair fiber is very strong and the key weak spot......
.
99
is the strength by which the hair fiber is anchored in the hair follicle in the skin.
.
100
The primary limiting factor is the .......rather than the strength of hair.
.
101
For a healthy individual with no hair diseases, hair fiber is very strong and the key

102
The average ......... for normal anagen (growing) hair is 70g.
.
103
The hair growth cycle
.
104
Each individual hair is formed inside a hair bulb deep in a hair follicle.
.
105
Hair follicles grow in repeated cycles from baby’s birth and for several decades with no stop.
.
106
Anagen
.
107
Catagen.
.
108
Transitional phase
.
109
Telogen
.
110
Resting phase
.
111
Each hair passes through the phases independent of the neighboring hairs. .
.
112
The length of the cycle varies with the individual, and also with the part of the body on which the hair is growi
.
113
This phase starts at the moment a new hair begins to grow.
.
114
At that time, there is very active growth (the highest ever) in the hair bulb.
.
115
This usually lasts for 3-7years, without interruption.
.
116
Since human hairs grow at a rate of roughly 1 cm/month, hairs can grow to a length of a meter or more.
L
117
Approximately 80-85% of all hairs are in the growing phase 20-15% in the other phases
at any one time.
.
118
is made in the hair bulb throughout this phase of the hair cycle and less pigment is made in the hair of older people.
.
119
That why white hairs start to appear, even though the hair itself may still be growing strongly.
.
120
As people grow older the period of anagen shortens, the follicles gradually give up and the hairs become .........
.
121
Over the years, the number of follicles capable of growing hair ...... naturally.
.
122
The decline is especially noticeable.....
.
123
Some follicles increasingly produce only fine, short non- pigmented hairs that look more like ......
.
124
In older women, this leads to a general
.
125
In ...... it tends to lead to common baldness.
.
126
If you look at a bald scalp you will see these fine, poorly pigmented hairs.
.
.
127
Plucking a hair from a follicle brings.......
.
128
Nothing interrupts the activity of the hair follicle.
.
129
Nothing that is put on the scalp or hair can interfere with the growth of the hairs.
.
130
Only severe burns or scars can affect the hair follicle.
.
131
Certain drugs that are given for cancer treatment can prevent hairs from growing.
.
132
However, the interruption is only temporary and hairs begin to grow again when the medication is stopped.
.
133
It lasts about one or two weeks
.
134
The hair follicle ....... due to disintegration and the dermal papilla detaches and "rests", cutting the hair strand off from its nourishing blood supply.
.
135
Ultimately, the follicle is 1/6 its original length, causing the hair shaft to be pushed upward.
.
136
While hair is not growing during this phase, the length of the terminal fibers increase when the follicle pushes them upward
.
137
No pigment is made during that time.
.
138
resting phase
.
139
This phase lasts for 3-4 months.
.
140
During this time, the hair.....
.
141
At the end of this phase, the hair follicle ......
.
142
............ join together again and a new hair begins to form.
.
143
As it grows upwards, the old hair will be shed naturally or may be pulled out....
.
144
These are the hairs that come out when you shampoo or brush your hair.
.
145
The new hair emerges from the same opening at the surface of the skin as the old one, and the hair cycle begins again.
.
146
It is easy to remember the lengths of the different phases of the growth cycle.
.
147
The anagen phase of scalp hair follicles typically persists
.
148
is a major determinant of the maximal hair length.
.
149
is only 70 days,while eyelashes grow for 100–150 days.
.
150
Telogen effluvium
.
151
scalp disorder characterized by massive hair loss
.
152
resulting from the early entry of hairs into the telogen phase.

the follicles enter the catagen then to the telogen phase)
| L
.
162
Hair loss can happen after one pregnancy but not the next.
.
163
Normal shampooing can continue because hairs were going to come out anyway
.
164
No special treatment is needed
.
165
What controls hair growth?
.
166
No one can answer this question with certainty.
;
167
General health and nutritional factors are ........ believed to be important for healthy hair growth.
.
168
Many alcoholics have poor hair growth or even hair loss because their way of life tends to lead to ........
.
169
Some minerals may be particularly important for hair growth where some people who lack ........ in their diet produce only fine, sparse hairs and even loose their hair
.
170
plays a part in hair growth
.
171
It also improves the physical properties (elasticity, strength and gloss) of the hair shaft.
.
172
Vitamin B.

173
The hair cycle for each individual hair is influenced by the
| levels of various ....... in the blood.

What is the maximum length that hair can grow to?
.
181
between 0.3 to 0.35mm a day

The scalp hair fiber growth rate is
L
183
The active hair fiber growth phase may last from

1000 to 2000 day.

If you put it all together in a calculation, the research would suggest that the maximum length scalp hair can grow to is between .......;

The upper limit to scalp hair length is determined by our .....
.
191
Does cutting hair promote new growth?
| .
.
192
is a common belief that cutting the hair stimulates ..... hair growth or .... and ..... hair.
;
193
this belief is not true
.
194
if it is cut there is no way for it to send a signal back to the hair follicles in the skin to grow more hair.
