5 Facts About Your Hair That You Might Not Know

1. A protein called keratin makes up your hair.

2. Your hair grows an average of 1/4 inch per day, and it's that growth that makes your hair shiny and helps it stay strong.

3. You can actually grow bald spots in your head if you're not taking care of your hair properly! They're easy to miss because they usually only appear on the top of your scalp or on the sides near the temples, but they can get pretty big if you don't treat them correctly.

4. Your hair keeps growing up until about age 25, when it stops growing and starts getting thinner as you get older (unless it's been through chemotherapy or something).

5. It takes about 3 months for all of your hair follicles to mature fully so if you cut off a quarter inch from the end of your longest strand (or whatever length you have), there will be one less new follicle waiting in line to start growing again later on down the line!
