• Whereas people of African decent have the lowest hair growth rate, and Asian hair grows the fastest, it's also true that African people have the densest hair of all. In terms of texture, blond hair is the finest, while black hair is the coarsest. Black hair is the most common hair color worldwide. • About 13 percent of the Scottish population has red hair, the largest percentage in the world. Worldwide, about 1 percent of the population has red hair, the rarest hair color. • Hair is composed of carbon (50%), oxygen (21%), nitrogen (17%), hydrogen (6%), and sulfur (5%). Darker hair tends to have more carbon present than lighter hair. • It's not true that the "baldness gene" comes from the mother's side of the family. The responsible genes can come from either side of the family, but it's definitely true that the more family members with hair loss problems, the higher your chance of developing such issues yourself. Over 50% of men have male pattern hair loss by age 50. • A horse, a mouse, and a human all have approximately the same number of hair follicles.
