Hair is attached to scalp by a blub. This bulb feeds off blood in scalp and is alive like all living cells. This bulb produces a mass of minerals we know as hair. Hair grow from the root under scalp down to ends of hair wherever that may be on yourself.

How is a hair formed?
Each hair develops from a group of epidermal cells at the base of a tubelike depression called a hair follicle, which extends from the surface into the dermis and contains the hair root. The epidermal cells at the base are nourished from dermal blood vesssels in a projection of connective tissue at the deep end of the follicle. As these epidermal cells divide and grow, older cells are pushed toward the surface. The cells that move upward and away from the utrient supply become keratinized and die. Their remains constitute the structure of a developing hair shaft that extends away from the skin.

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. It is also a myth that cutting hair regularly makes it grow faster, how can cutting the end of something dead increase the growth of what comes out of the top???

Can hair follicles fall out along with the shed hair If not what is the black bump at the end of the hair?
The white bump is called the hair bulb. It sits inside the follicle and is the beginning of the hair strand. The hair bulb is where the dead cells that make up hair are connected with live cells from the body. The follicle is part of your skin so it can't "fall out" but it can become damaged. Illness, sun damage, repeated waxing or tweezing are the most common reasons for follicle damage. There are three phases in the life of hair, a growing phase, a resting phase, and a loss phase. Usually, a healthy person will have 90% of their hair growing, 10-14% of their hair resting, and 10% of their hair falling out at any time.

What is the difference between a boil and a bump?
A hair bump is a result of an ingrown hair which tends to develop at the hair shaft's end. They have pointy sharpened end and normally will try to grow straight but if they're prevented from doing that they curl back into themselves and re enter into the same follicle that they were trying to grow out of ,when they occur, a hair bump is formed . Boils are skin infection involving an entire hair follicle and the tissues around it. They can occur anywhere on the body. They're common in the face, neck, thigh, armpit and chin. The difference between the two is that, a hair bump is caused by ingrown hair under the skin whereas the boil is caused by bacteria. They both can heal without treatment. Dickson NJ.. Student
