Is all hair on the head dead?


Question:
I have read all hair is dead is this true?

Answers:
Yes. That's why cutting your hair doesn't hurt.

It isn't a blood byproduct.

So all those shampoos with vitamins are just a way to get you to spend your money. Hair is made of tightly coiled (super-coiled - the coiled strands are coiled around each other - like rope) proteins. It's like the outer layer of skin - it is also dead.

Other Answers:
Yes. All hair which you can see is dead. It's a by-product of blood believe it or not!

Techinically, yes. Fingernails and hair are just dead cells pushed out from the root. dead as a doornail

yes hair is a dead by product called keratin

Yes, all hair is dead. This is the reason why it doesn't hurt when you cut hair. Hair is a living thing at the ends beneath the skin where it's connected to blood supply and nerves. Pain when you pull hair, pluck eyebrows, eyelashes. Did you read that in "Proof"?


yep.Dead as a doornail


yes it is,but why do the ad's for shampoo say if you use their product your hair will be full of life?
