Hair. If you're a man, you don't usually pay them much attention (well, at least until you start going bald). If you are a woman, you sometimes feel guilty that you think about them much more than the poor children in Africa. And if you start falling out or if you have a bad hair day, it is your hair that is causing your gray hair. Here are 10 facts about hair that you probably didn't know.
1. Hair is as strong as iron wire
It tears only when a force of 60 kg is applied to it and when it is stretched to its full 70%.
2. The most popular women's hairstyle
"The Rachel" - Jennifer Aniston's hairstyle in the popular 1990s TV series Friends - it is the most copied female hairstyle of all time, because according to the results of the survey, as many as 11 million women around the world are said to have copied it. Interestingly, (ironically) Jennifer called this hairstyle "the ugliest haircut I've ever seen".
3. Hair density
How much hair you have on your head depends on your hair color. On average, blondes have 146,000 hairs on their heads, blacks 110,000, brunettes 100,000, and redheads only 86,000.
4. The best-selling shampoo brand
The best-selling shampoo brand is Head & Shoulders, as 110 shampoos are sold every minute in the world. British Sunsilk is in second place, and Pantene is third.
5. An interesting fact
Each strand of hair contains 14 different elements, including traces of gold.
6. How to get perfect curls
During this year's tour of Australia, it is supposed to be Kate Middleton spent more than €7,500 for the perfect look of her curls. (In order to save some money anyway, she preferred to do her makeup herself...)
7. Percentage of hair coloring
Today, as many as 75% American women dye their hair, while in the fifties only 7% dyed their hair.
8. Interesting hobby of Katy Perry
Katy Perry has a somewhat scary hobby: collecting curls at home. Her collection also boasts the curls of Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
9. Redheads
They are the most "endangered" species redheads, because there are only about 1% in the world. Interestingly, the homeland of the most redheads is not Ireland or Great Britain, but America, where there are between 2 and 6% redheads.
10. She dances
Good news for anyone (especially men) experiencing hair loss: on the outside, people won't notice you're going bald until you've lost about 50% of all your hair. Unfortunately, by then it is already quite late to take any action and improve the situation.
