How to Grow Hair Natural - first, #1 - E-book - ePub

Here's a fascinating fact: You're born with all the hair follicles you'll ever have - around 5 million to be exact, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Of those, about 100, 000 follicles are on your scalp. When it comes to losing hair, the AAD says it's totally normal to lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day. Hair grows from a root at the bottom of a follicle under your skin. The blood in your scalp goes to the follicle and supplies oxygen and nutrients to the hair root, which helps your hair grow.
As your hair grows, it will push through your skin and pass by an oil gland. According to the AAD, it's the oil from this gland that makes your hair shiny and soft.
