Well, we know that hair grows on most parts of the skin surface, except palms, soles, lips and eyelids.
Hair thickness and length varies according to the location.
A hair shaft grows within a follicle at a rate of about 1 cm per month. It is due to cell division within the hair bulb at the base of the follicle. The cells produce the three layers of the hair shaft (medulla, cortex, cuticle), which are mainly made of the protein keratin (which is also the main structure of skin and nails).
Hair growth follows a cycle. However, these phases are not synchronized, and any hair may be at a particular phase at random.
The three main phases of the hair cycle are:
- Anagen: actively growing hair, most of them
- Catagen: in-between phase of 2–3 weeks when growth stops and the follicle shrinks, 1–3% of hairs
- Telogen: resting phase for 1–4 months, up to 10% of hairs in a normal scalp.
Hair length depends on the duration of anagen. Short hairs (eyelashes, eyebrows, hair on arms and legs) have a short anagen phase of around one month. Anagen lasts up to 6 years or longer in scalp hair.
- Vellus hair is fine, light in color, and short in length
- Terminal or androgenic hair is thicker, darker and longer
The curl pattern of your hair truly depends on genetics. Normally an individual will have three different hair types growing during the anagen phase on their head. This can be determined by the curl or wave pattern of your mother, father, or either grandparents. Within years of research, when it comes to grandparents the female seems to dominate. More research is needed to fully support this claim.
As for hair color, this relies of genetics too.
Hairloss can be genetics, medicines, medical conditions or damage to the follicles. In summary internal and external factors.
