Now, a quick look at your hair: The average person’s head has up to 150,000
hair follicles. That number stays consistent over time; what changes is the
thickness and condition of the strands, and if they actually stay on your head.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to know about hair health is that each strand
has its own blood supply—blood from the body feeds into the tiny blood vessels
in the hair follicle. That’s the living part—the bulb at the base of the strand. The
actual strand we see above the skin is the dead part, though it is made up of
proteins that influence how your hair looks. The right foods help nourish the
cells that make hair grow lush, and improve the quality of oils that lubricate each
strand to give it a shiny appearance.
