Since you carry your head of hair with you everywhere you go, you may not stop to give it much thought. But there are some curious facts about men\u2019s hair that can make you appreciate your stylish strands even more. Here are some fun facts about your hair that may surprise you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you\u2019re planning on growing your hair out, it helps to know how long you can expect to wait before it reaches a certain milestone of length.\u00a0 Hair grows on average at a rate of \u00bc inch every 2 weeks.\u00a0 On average, hair takes about three years to reach shoulder length and would need to be grown out for seven years to reach your waist. So if you\u2019re going for length, just stay patient<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A rather surprising fact about men\u2019s hair in particular is that it actually grows faster than women\u2019s hair. But hey guys, not everything has to be a race!<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Think your muscles are strong? Think again! A single, healthy strand of hair can support a weight of 6.5 lbs. This means that between each strand, your whole head of hair can support up to two tons! We don\u2019t necessarily suggest putting this to the test, though.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Speaking of your whole head of hair, the average person has 100,000 strands of hair on their head. However, the actual amount of hair people have varies widely.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. While bone marrow is the fastest growing tissue in the human body, hair comes in at second place.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The most common hair color in the world is black, and the rarest hair color in the world is red, which accounts for only about one percent of the entire world\u2019s population.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Speaking of red hair, redheads may not be around forever. Scientists predict red hair won\u2019t be part of the gene pool within 100 years. <\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Your hair isn\u2019t actually always growing. While you\u2019ll always have hairs on your head that are growing, only 90% of your hairs are actively growing at any given moment. The other 10% of your hairs are taking a break. <\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Thinning hair is quite common in men, and well over half of all men will show signs of thinning hair by the age of 35.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Speaking of thinning hair, it takes quite a bit of hair loss for the effects of balding to become visible. In fact, most men lose about half of the hair on their heads before they notice any sign of balding. <\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Hair loss without balding is quite common, and the average person loses between 40 and 150 strands of hair every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. Notice strands of hair spinning down the drain? Don\u2019t panic! Most hair will grow back after it falls out. In fact, hair can regrow after it falls out up to 20 times in your lifetime. <\/span><\/li>\n
  13. Contrary to popular belief, cutting hair doesn\u2019t affect its ability to grow. Yes, this includes your beard hair, which won\u2019t grow thicker after shaving it. However, cutting your hair does get rid of split ends, which can disrupt the health and strength of your hair if left untrimmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
