Hey! It's Style with another batch of fun facts! I really love my hair, and because of this I decided to look up some interesting facts about it. Hair is pretty, so it must have some interesting facts right? :p


☯ When wet, a healthy strand of hair can stretch 30% more than its original length.


☯ Hair contains information about everything that has ever been in your bloodstream, drugs included.


☯ Men and womens' hair are identical in structure.

☯ Black is the most common hair color.

☯ Goosebumps from cold or fear are caused by hair follicles contracting, causing the hair and surrounding skin to bunch up

☯ The average number of hair strands varies per color, with blondes having the most and redheads having the fewest.
