Hair Care

You have between 1,00,000 and 2,00,000 hairs on your head. The roots of hair are made of living cells and grow out of the dermis. A hair grows out of a follicle, which is a small packet that holds the root in the dermis. Through the follicle the root is supplied with blood and nerve tissue. Hair normally grows at about 6 inches per year. You can lose between 25 and 100 hairs daily.

Some hair tips

• Wash your hair regularly.
• If possible, let your hair dry naturally.
• Brush well once a day.
• Massage the scalp with the brush to promote circulation and hair growth.

You can improve your hair’s appearance by eating a good, well balanced diet rich in vitamins but especially rich in Vitamin A, B and C as well as the mineral zinc. Refer to the Nutrition section for additional nutritional information.
