Hair grows out of little pockets in your skin, called follicles. Here's how it happens:

Your hair begins growing from a root in the bottom of the follicle. The root is made up of cells of protein.

Blood from the blood vessels in your scalp feeds the root, which creates more cells and makes the hair grow.

The hair gets pushed up through the skin as it grows, passing an oil gland along the way. The oil gland adds oil to the hair and keeps it shiny and soft. It can make it greasy, too. That's why you need to wash your hair.

The hair dies by the time it is long enough to poke out through the skin. Yes, hair is dead. That's why it doesn't hurt to get a haircut.

Hair on the rest of your body goes through this same process, but the whole cycle only lasts for a month or so. That's why body hair does not grow very long in length like the hair on your head does.

Here are some facts about follicles and your hair:

You are born with all of the follicles you will ever have — about 5 million.

You have about 100,000 follicles on your scalp, which is the skin on your head.

Hair grows very fast and male hair grows faster than female hair. The only part of your body that grows faster is bone marrow, the soft stuff inside your bones. The hair on your head grows about 6 inches a year. So, even though it's one of the fastest-growing things on your body, it takes a while to grow it really long.

Some follicles stop growing hair as you get older. This happens more in some people than in others. That's why some people get thinner hair when they get older, or go bald.

I need help with my science
IgorC [24]

Answer:

A theory is the most logical explanation of events that occur in nature. The explanation often results from the use of the scientific method. First, a problem must be stated. Then, after gathering information, a hypothesis, or logical solution, is formed. The solution is then tested in an experiment. The factor that is tested in an experiment is called the variable. This factor is not contained in the control setup. Sometimes principles of chemistry, the study of how substances change and combine, are involved in experiments. At other times, principles of physics are instead.

The metric system is used for all measurements in science. Some basic units in this system are the liter for volume, the kilogram for mass, the degree Celsius for temperature, and the meter for length. Sometimes, the density of a substance, or its mass per unit volume must be measured. If dimensional analysis is needed, a conversion factor must be used.
