Black and brown hair colors are the most common in the world, with more than 90 percent of scalps sprouting dark strands. Redheads, by contrast, are the rarest, with less than four percent of the population qualifying as natural gingers (blondes come in a close second on the rareness scale).<\/p>\n
Hair can grow almost anywhere on the body. In fact, almost 95 percent of the body is covered in some kind of hair (including that soft downy fuzz on your cheeks or arms). The exceptions: your lips, the soles of your feet, your palms and mucous membranes.<\/p>\n
We shed between 50 and 150 strands of hair a day. But don\u2019t freak out\u2014on average, we have<\/span><\/i> between 100,000 to 150,000 strands on our head, so a little daily hair loss is barely discernible. In fact, for balding to even become apparent, you must lose nearly 50 percent of the hair on your head.<\/span><\/p>\n Natural blondes have the most strands on their scalps, while redheads have the least.<\/span><\/p>\n File this under don\u2019t try this at home: When it\u2019s wet, a strand of hair can be stretched up to 30 percent of its original length before breaking.<\/span><\/p>\n Another good to know (but not to try) factoid: One strand of human hair can support up to 3.5 ounces. So, figuring you have 100,000+ strands on your head, your hair, collectively, could support 22,000 pounds\u2014or five SUVs.<\/span><\/p>\n Most scalps lack insulating fat, so hair is like having a permanent hat to keep your head warm.<\/span><\/p>\n What a waste of water: Eighty-percent of Americans wash their hair <\/span>twice<\/span><\/i> a day.<\/span><\/p>\n4.
