Secondary research http://topics.info.com/How-many-hairs-does-the-average-person-have-on-their-head_2724 An average person has about 100 thousand hairs on their scalp. Most redheads have about 90 thousands hairs, blonds have about 140 thousand, and brunettes fall in between these two figures. Most people shed between 50 to 100 hairs daily. The number of hairs is dependent on a number of different things such as age, health, gender, race etc. http://www.howitworksdaily.com/science/how-quickly-does-human-hair-grow/ Human hair grows on average 1.25 centimetres (0.5 inches) per month, which is equivalent to about 15 centimetres (six inches) per year. There are several variables that can affect hairs growth rate

such as age, health and genetics. Each hair grows in three stages, the first being the anagen phase where most growth occurs. The longer your hair remains in this stage dictates how long and quickly it develops; this can last between two and eight years and is followed by the catagen (transitional) and telogen (resting) phases. Hair growth rates vary across different areas of the head, with that on the crown growing the fastest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_hair_colour Hair colour is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Generally, if more eumelanin is present, the color of the hair is darker; if less eumelanin is present, the hair is lighter In 2002, men and women in the UK spent more than 4 billion on razor blades to remove unwanted body hair.

In the early 1990s, women's hair changed from the teased curls popular in the late 1980s to straight, smooth hair, inspired by late 1960s hairstyles. Men's hair became increasingly shorter from the early 1990s onwards. From the late 1990s onwards, spiky hair, crew cuts and variants of the quiff became popular among young professional men. Dark haired men dyed their spikes blonde or added wavy blonde streaks well into the mid-2000s.

Hair consists mainly of keratin, which is also responsible for the elasticity of fingernails. A single hair has a thickness of 0.02 - 0.04mm, so that 20 - 50 hair strands next to each other make one millimetre. Hair is strong as a wire of iron. It rips after applying a force equivalent to 60kg, only after it stretched itself for about 70%. Even on a good hair day, everyone loses at least 40 to 100 strands. The average scalp has 100,000 strands, or just fewer than 1000 per square inch The trait for baldness can be passed down through paternal or maternal genes.
