#JiminBirthdayHair Trivia #4! Why does bleach damage hair? Bleaching removes melanin by opening the hair cuticle & breaking down pigment. Repeated or aggressive bleaching can weaken the hair's protein structure, making it more prone to dryness and breakage.

Alopecia is visible hairlessness. This can result from effluvium if the underlying etiology is not addressed. Alopecia areata is a specific autoimmune disorder where the hair follicles are paralyzed & can no longer produce hair = no new hair growth after exogen phase

Growth occurs in the hair root, specifically the bulb & follicle. The bulb is a matrix of cells that has blood supply, nerves, & pigment cells (melanocytes). Cell division in the bulb & follicle forms layers of cells that then die & keratinize to form a hair shaft.

Anagen (active growth) is by far the longest phase & can last for years! Seasonal shedding & stress-induced changes in anagen/telogen time ratio are normal (we'll talk more about this in our next post!).

The hair shaft is what we think of as "hair" - the visible portion. However, the hair root is the "living" part where active growth occurs (more on that later). The hair shaft is actually composed of dead cells that have hardened!

A hair shaft is made of 3 layers of keratinized cells (dead hair cells that have replaced their internal structure with the protein keratin). Hair is ~85% keratin with the remainder of its composition being water & lipids. There are no "live" cells in the shaft!

What is dead but grows? Hair! Hair itself is technically “dead”. The visible part of your hair shaft is made primarily of keratin & contains no nerves or blood vessels. That's why cutting your hair doesn't hurt. The living follicle underneath your scalp produces new hair!
