Hair

You probably know your father mainly as a balding man, while in old photos he appears with a full head of hair. Baldness or thinning hair can be hereditary. You can inherit certain genes from your parents that make you sensitive to dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT. This hormone is produced from the testosterone in your body and is responsible for potentially making your hair thinner. In women, the hormone estrogen helps prevent DHT from acting freely. After menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which can lead to thinner hair if you're sensitive to dihydrotestosterone. So, there's a good chance that you'll eventually experience it yourself.

You may not have read about this new product that gets rid of those pesky hairs in no time. An example of a hair removal spray is Velform Hair Erase. Super nice that this spray works painlessly! The spray is easy to use, you shake the bottle before opening it, simply spray on the areas you want to remove hair, let it soak in for a while and rinse off.

Because of the nutrients brought to your hair through your blood vessels, your hair grows about 1 centimetre a month on average. That's about 12 centimetres per year. These nutrients consist largely of keratin (protein). Keratin is responsible for your hair's elasticity and water absorption. So it is important that you get enough protein.
