Did You Know??

-That people with different wave patterns in their hair have different shaped hair strands? for instance, people with naturally straight hair have a round hair strand. People with wavy hair have an oval hair strand and people with curly hair have a flat hair strand.

-That on average a person looses anywhere from 40 to 100 hairs per day?

-That baldness does not come from the mother's side. It is genetic and can come from either side of the family.

-That no matter how often you trim your hair it will still grow at the same rate. Though of course the more you trim it, the healthier it will be.

-That on average, hair on a healthy scalp grows at a rate of a half inch per month.

-That every 4-5 years you have a completely new head of hair.

-That the technical term for gray hair is Canities (Kah-NISH-ee-eez).

-That Archeological studies reveal that haircutting and hairstyling were practiced in some form as early as the Ice Age.

heh heh heh.... glad you are having fun and doing so great at it! Congratulations on the great score. I read the article about the Wiitala brothers that the twins posted on facebook. I love indie, didn't know they were an indie rock group. I'm more of a mellow indie gal Ingrid Michaelson, Priscilla Ahn, The Weepies... but I love that whole genre.
