Expert gynecologist James Clark stated, “Next to the bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.” Many people believe that an individual can speed up the hair growth process by buying products for their hair or giving it a trim every once in a while. Researchers have stated that hair will not grow faster and that genetics play a huge role in this. An individual cannot simply force their hair to grow faster. The hair must go through the three certain growth phases to grow which will be discussed later. Shampoos and other chemicals to make an individuals hair grow faster is just wasting the individuals money. Many hair specialists explain that instead of trying to quickly grow out hair unnaturally, an individual should eat healthy with a balanced diet to grow healthy hair. Since hair is already a dead cell, it will not absorb vitamins or other nutrients that an individual wants to achieve (Hoffenstein 42). The healthier the hair, the more likely it will grow longer. There are many myths about how a person could speed up their hair growth such as trimming the hair or buying special hair treatments; however, many researchers, trichologists, and individuals believe that hair grows at a certain speed based on an individuals stress, hygiene, and genetics.
Hair grows about half an inch per month to six inches a year but can vary depending on the person. First, what exactly is hair? Based on WebMD, hair is made up of an extremely strong protein called keratin which is also found in the human skin, nails, and teeth. Expert cosmopolitan Cunnane Phillips explained that there are three different types of hair growth phases that an individuals hair goes through. The first phase is called anagen. This is the growth phase...

...r will stay on their head and go through all three stages of the hair growth cycle naturally. In summation if the stress levels on an individual is high, the speed of the hair to grow will decrease compared to a person who is stress free.
Furthermore, hygiene is another factor that can either increase or decrease the speed of the hair. Typically, you can tell a lot about a persons hygiene by looking at how they treat their hair. In particular, if an individual is constantly flat ironing their hair or putting excessive heat on the hair, it will burn causing it to break and create split ends. Split ends is when an individual hair strand splits into two at the tip of the hair. If the individual keeps on putting excessive heat to the hair, the hair will break off causing the hair to become shorter. It is best to cut off these split ends before they reach a point where
This cycle tends to last anywhere from five to seven years and is shorter for hair on the eyebrows, armpits and pubic area. Inside the bulb of each hair is a component called the dermal papilla which controls the hair growth while the matrix of the hair, which contains a large amount of epidermal cells that rapidly divide, is responsible for the length of the hair. Next is the catagen phase which is characterized as a transition period between the anagen and telogen phases. At this time the hair bulbs are pushed out in order to become keratinized and the hair appears short and thick. This phase tends to only last between two and three weeks. During the telogen phase, no new cell division occurs, which means that the length of the hair remains the same. This pause allows the dermal papilla to fill up the matrix with new cells in preparation for the anagen phase to begin again. This phase can last between three and nine months. After this phase, the anagen phase begins again. The telogen phase is periodically followed by shedding, or exogen. This leads to the last phase, the exogen phase. This phase is characterized by the shedding of hair. Each day about one hundred hairs are shed from the average individual’s scalp. The shaft of the hair is shed and the follicle remains. Despite the fat that the exogen phase usually follows the telogen phase, there are exceptions when it does not, resulting in hair follicles needing to go

...on. Treatments should be applied to the hair as a protector before the chemicals are added because they can apply serious damage to the healthy hair. If the hair isn’t treated properly with several chemicals being added such as relaxers or dye, the hair can easily become dry, brittle, and create many split ends throughout your hair even rising up to the roots. As I was doing my research paper I did experience some difficulties because I didn’t stick with one topic in the cosmetology field like hairstyling, coloring hair, nails, and even trimming of the hair so that caused me to even research harder, but it’s nothing wrong with challenging yourself at times.

They have several different factors that determine hair color such as melanin containing iron and sulfur. If there is a lack of melanin, the hair will be white or gray. Stem cells located in the dermis are responsible for the production of hair. The shape and texture of the hair follicle determine an individual’s hair. The growth process of hair goes through the following three phases. The anagen phase which takes approximately twenty eight days and grows about one centimeter. The catagen phase lasts for approximately two to three weeks and the blood supply to the hair is cut off. The telogen phase is the final phase also known as the resting phase, lasting approximately three

Hair growth takes place in three phases the anogen phase, the catagen phase, and the telogen phase. The first phase to take place, the anogen stage, can last anywhere from three to seven years. During this stage, hair grows at an average rate of 1 centimeter per month which adds up to around 12 centimeters or 1 inch per year. It is also during this stage that melanin, the pigment that gives hair color, is created. As people get older, follicles gradually give up producing thick, strong hair. As a result, hair becomes thinner and shorter; baldness may even occur. The next phase in hair growth is the catagen phase which takes place anywhere from two to four weeks. During this stage, the base of the follicle moves from underneath the skin to the face and rests near the opening of the sebaceous duct until it is ready to begin growing. This growing takes place during the telogen phase which lasts anywhere from three to four months. During this stage, new hair begins to grow from the hair follicle. As it grows upwards, the old hair will be shed naturally or may be pulled out. This shedding of telogen hairs happens easily and painlessly; these are the hairs that fall out when a person is shampooi...
Nose hairs are part of the body’s immune system. They trap toxins and other pollutants from entering your nose and lungs during breathing. They also regulate the humidity in the nasal passages. There are two types of nose hairs: microscopic hair-like cilia and coarser nose hairs. The coarser hairs sometimes grow long enough to protrude out of the nose. This can be embarrassing and an indicator of poor grooming habits. Though nose hair serves an important purpose, it does not need to stick out of your nose to be effective. With a little knowledge, you can easily trim the hairs sticking out without damaging your sensitive nasal cavity’s skin.

I am very happy today, and in fact have been for the last few days. When I went to work all of my co-workers commented on my smile and the joy that was emanating from me. Some of them thought ‘new boyfriend’ while others asked if I had won the lottery. As much as I wish either of those were true, they weren’t.
