the facts

The basics:
To start with, the average person has about 100,000 hairs on their head and each hair shaft has three layers to protect it from the harsh sun, wind, and waters.
Shiny hair is a sign of good health because the layers of the cuticle on the shafts lie flat and reflect light. When the layers are tightly together damage is less likely to happen. But once damage begins the layers become separated and split ends form.
Teens usually have more oily hair than adults
Blonde's have more hair than brunettes and red heads.
