Biotin, Selenium and Zinc are minerals that contribute to healthy hair.
In addition to these individual minerals, there are also some formula products that specifically target healthy hair.
Healthy Hair
Hairs and their associated structures lie largely in the skin (cutis) and subcutaneous connective tissue (subcutis). Where a hair is located, the epidermis (epidermis) and dermis (dermis) are folded inward. This is called a hair follicle or hair follicle.
In the lower part of the hair follicle, mitosis (cell division) takes place, causing the hair to grow. It is gradually pushed outward. During this process, the hair cells cornify and die.
The visible part of the hair is the hair shaft. The hair shaft is made up mainly of the protein keratin and consists of three layers, at the core lies the medulla, then the bark and a protective cuticle layer that is roofed over each other.
More than 100,000 hairs
Nearly all hairs have their own little muscle that, when contracted, causes the familiar "goose bumps." There is also the sebaceous gland that produces grease to lubricate the hair. On average, a person has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs on his head that grow about 3 mm per week and have a lifespan of 2-6 years. About 50-100 head hairs fall out per day.
Hair color depends on the amount of pigment formed in the epidermis. A person with very dark hair has a lot of pigment and gray hair loses pigment. Pigment consists of tiny melanin particles, the same pigment that gives our skin its color.
