Hair has always been an important sign of beauty. This is especially true for women. Each hair on a person’s head grows from a single tube-like hole in the skin called a follicle (毛囊). People are born with all of the hair follicles. The average person has about one hundred thousand hair follicles. They begin to form around the third month of pregnancy (怀孕).
The part of the hair under the skin is known as the hair root. The hair sticking out from the skin is known as the hair shaft. At the base of the hair root is a small ball-like formation called a bulb. This is where new cells are formed. These cells get nutrition (营养) from the blood supply under the skin. As new cells form, the older cells are pushed up through the root. The old cells are cut off from the blood supply and begin to form a hard protein called keratin (角质). These dead cells and keratin are what makes up the hair shaft. This whole process is what causes hair to grow.
There are three periods of hair growth. Not all hair experience the same period of growth at the same time. The period of active growth is called “anagen”. This period can last

from two to six years. The catagen period of hair growth comes next. It is then that hair growth begins to slow down. This period usually lasts two or three weeks. Finally, hair growth comes to a complete stop and the hairs begin to fall out. This period is known as “telogen”.
Your genes (基因) control how fast or how long your hair will grow. Your health can also affect hair growth. Poor nutrition can cause some hair follicles to stop growing or cause the hairs to become weak or thin. Problems with hair growth can result from thyroid (甲状腺) problems or other conditions. Health experts say people who experience a sudden increase in hair loss should seek medical advice.
