Hair – Man's Crowning Glory

Hair is a simple protein filament that covers the body of any mammal. However for human beings, hair stands as the primary styling object. And depending on the hair style, the look of an individual can be altered dramatically. Hair also stands as a symbol of health and youth.

For men, hair stands as a prime object of glory. Facial hair marks the transition of a boy to a man. Since ancient times, hair styles have also denoted your association to a certain group, caste, sect or religion. For example Sikhs and Orthodox Jews keep their hair long or never shave their head fully.

Men also face the problem of male pattern baldness which is related to hair. Baldness not only comes with age, it also prematurely ‘ages’ you in appearance.

Learn The Hair Structure, Achieve Natural Luster

An average human scalp contains close to 100-150 thousand hair fibers, which are composed of structural protein called keratin. Keratin is the most important element in the hair structure since keratin is protein, therefore the hair strands on our head are actually dead protein.

The hair on our scalp can be divided into two parts, the root and the shaft.

HAIR ROOT AND ITS SHAFT

Hair roots are found underneath the skin’s surface and are enclosed by a pouch-like structure called a follicle. At the base of the follicle lays the dermal papilla, a structure containing tiny receptors for male hormones and androgens extremely important to your hair’s natural growth.
