Why does hair grow when it is dead?
An individual hair begins under the skin in the root of hair sap called dermal papilla on whose top hair cells are produced. As the hair is pushed upward it "dies," and becomes a hard substance called keratin.hair is dead once it has been released from the follicle under your scalp, it would be very painful if it wasnt every time you had it cut! When you pull a hair out it hurts, that is because the follicle is living tissue and all the time the hair is connected to it if it is tugged you will feel it.
