The root of a human hair is the part of the hair that is normally out of sight beneath the skin.
The follicle is part of the skin (the layer called the epidermis) that is folded in below the skin surface and holds the swollen base (the bulb) of the root of the hair. Almost, but not quite. The hair root is the base of the hair that is alive and growing, and it lives in a protected pouch called a hair follicle.

When combing your hair after you dried it through why does your hair stand up?
It's from static electricity. Either you have been walking on a type of carpet that produces static when you walk on it (as in when you touch something or someone you get zapped) or you have clothes on that are the same way.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal versus electrolysis?
Laser hair removal is somewhat easier than electrolysis in that it uses pulsated light to destroy or burn hair in the follicles. It is able to deliver this light to many follicles at the same time, whereas electrolysis targets individual follicles one by one, delivering low level electrical pulses through a needle inserted into the follicle. Many individual find laser hair removal to be less painful than electrolysis.

Yes! It is VERY bad to perm your hair! It is also not good to continually use curly or flat irons. By using perms, your hair could go frizzy, and by using perms, you can lose your hair!More hair information:Each individual hair grows from a hair follicle. Each hair follicle determines what each hair will look like. For example: For someone who has curly hair, their hair follicles are oval shaped.

Is there any products you can by to make your hair grow faster?
In hereditary hair loss, a combination of heredity, hormones, and age causes a progressive shrinking, or miniaturization, of certain scalp follicles. This causes a shortening of the hair's growing cycle. Over time, as the active growth phase becomes shorter, the resting phase becomes longer. Eventually, there may be no growth at all. Researchers believe that Rogaine works in part by partially enlarging the hair follicles and reversing the miniaturization process. By enlarging miniaturized follicles, the growth phase of the hair cycle is prolonged, allowing the hair to become longer and thicker looking. And with more follicles in the growth phase at the same time, it is possible to see improved coverage of the scalp. For example, Rogaine is the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand for hair regrowth.
