HAIR

(continued): FAST FACTS ABOUT HAIR • Hairs live two to six years before falling out, to be replaced by a new hair. Because of this, it’s rare for hair to reach lengths exceeding several feet. Hair will be replaced at least 12 times during a normal life span.

• 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.

• A strand of hair is stronger than a copper wire of equivalent diameter. A typical strand of hair can withstand a weight of about six pounds (2.7 kg) before breaking. An entire head of hair can hold about two tons.

• 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.

Humans and chimpanzees have the same number of follicles as well, but chimpanzees have thick hair while human body hair is short.

MORE HAIR TRIVIA • Hair is one of the definitive traits of mammals.

Only a few mammals are regarded as being generally hairless, including the elephant, rhino, hippo, walrus, pig, whale, dolphin, porpoise, and naked mole rat.

• The reason we still have hair in our armpits and groin is to provide a larger surface area for odors to cling to, providing chemical advertising.

• The longest documented hair was measured in 2004. It belonged to Xie Qiuping from China, and measured 18.5 feet (5.6 m) long.

HAIR

(continued): FIRST “NEW & IMPROVED” • Richard Harris was the first person to offer a home permanent for sale. Unfortunately, his first product, called Noma (because it used No Machines) was an inferior product and damaged some hair. Harris reformulated the product and changed the name to Toni because ‘tony’ was a slang term meaning classy. He invented the slogan “new and improved” and was back in business again.

• He travelled from town to town giving beauty shop operators free Toni permanent waves so that when customers inquired about them, they could point to their own hair and say, “I’ve got a Toni myself!” Beauty shop operators, worried that they would be run out of business by the new craze in home permanent waves, resisted.

Florida made it a crime to do beauty work outside a beauty parlor, and the Kentucky Hairdressers’ Association tried to arrest housewives for operating a beauty parlor without a license.

• Housewives retaliated by forming Toni Clubs and making hairdressing a social occasion.

Ten years after his disastrous Noma experience, Harris sold Toni to the Gillette corporation for $20 million.

IT’S A FACT • The permanent wave was invented in 1906.

74 women tried out the six-hour technique the first year, and 5,000 did it the following year.

HAIR DYE • In the 1960s, only “hussies” dyed their hair. Shirley Plykoff was the first woman to enter the Advertising Hall of Fame when she created Clairol’s “Does she — or doesn’t she?” ad campaign. Before this campaign, only 7% of American women dyed their hair. Afterwards, 50% did.

• A man let his hair grow out for two years so he could get a particular style of haircut when it was long enough. However, the barber he chose did a horrible job, in his opinion, so he filed suit for $10,000. He claimed his social life was a wreck and people made fun of him. He had to wear a hat at all times to hide the haircut, and was seeing a psychiatrist to help him through the trauma. The judge said his hair would grow back and dismissed the charges.

• In 1956, 40% of barbershop customers were asking for the flattop crew cut. World War II made the crew cut popular, and Elvis Presley doomed it.

• Richard Savaria was in jail in Billings, Montana facing a charge of felony theft. He stepped out of a line of prisoners and fled from two deputies, making a clean escape. Just two hours later a local barber called police to report that a new customer had shown up in his shop requesting a shave and a haircut. The barber was suspicious of the man and requested police come check the guy out. Sure enough, it was the escaped prisoner. What tipped the barber off?

The handcuffs the guy was wearing!

70 Santee Rd. | Lincoln, ND 58504 | 250-8000

• In 1855 a boy was born in Wisconsin and his mother called him King. Forty years later, King was angry to find his straight razor was too dull to shave well. Back then, men shaved with razors that had to be sharpened often. What a man really needed, King thought, was a razor that was so cheap that dozens of them could be purchased and each one could be thrown away when it became dull. The idea of a disposable razor was born. Toolmakers and engineers told him it was impossible.

• Then he teamed up with an inventor named Nickerson, and they perfected the design. In 1903 the first disposable razors went on sale. That year only 51 razors and 168 blades sold, but in 1904, sales totaled 90,000 razors and 12 million blades. The government ordered 3.5 million razors and 36 million blades during World War I. King died in 1932, a millionaire. The company he founded, named after his last name, is one of the largest manufacturers of shaving supplies in the world. What was King’s last name?

QUIZ #2 • Jacob was a career soldier who found shaving difficult. The disposable razor was issued to all soldiers, but it required water, shaving cream, a basin, and a towel– items not readily available in combat. Jacob wanted a way to shave that required nothing but the razor, so he decided to invent an electric shaver. He drew up plans and sent them to manufacturers, but no one was interested, so he did it himself.

• His first model was a two-handed affair, one to hold the motor and one to hold the razor. It was introduced in 1929 but sales were slow and he nearly went bankrupt.

• In 1931 Jacob introduced a smaller onehanded model, and sold about 3,000 electric razors for $25 each. He invested every extra penny in advertising, and more than 1.5 million had sold by the time he died in 1937.

• The business got a big boost during World War II when a steel shortage made Gillette’s disposable razors hard to come by. Jacob named the company after himself, a German word which means ‘elegance.’ Name it.

by Samantha Weaver • It was 19th-century French historian Edgar Quinet who made the following sage observation: “Time is the fairest and toughest judge.”

• The Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland, has a 9,000-year lease on the property -- and the rent is a mere 45 Irish pounds per year.

• Researchers at Yale University have determined that the most recognizable scent to American adults is coffee, followed by peanut butter in the No. 2 spot.

• In 1941, the British entered World War II, much to the relief of the USSR. One Soviet admiral was so grateful for the help that when a British naval captain on the submarine HMS Trident commented that his wife had a hard time pushing the baby carriage through the snow in Britain, the admiral declared, “You need a reindeer!” -- and presented the sub’s crew with one. Dubbed Pollyanna, the reindeer spent six weeks aboard the sub, where it reportedly liked to sleep under the captain’s bed. Pollyanna eventually ended up at the Regents Park Zoo. • The state of Mississippi takes its name (unsurprisingly) from the river. But how did the river get its name? Etymologists say that the modern pronunciation is from a French variant of “meshi-ziibi,” which in Algonquian Ojibwa means “big river.”

• Those who study such things say that 20 percent of modern relationships that end in marriage begin online.

• The red panda is a vulnerable mammal species found in parts of Asia. It’s about the size of a house cat, but its tail can grow up to 19 inches long.

• On April 25, 1719, Daniel Defoe’s fictional work “The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” is published. The book, about a shipwrecked sailor who spends 28 years on a deserted island, is based on the experiences of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who spent four years on a small island off the coast of South America in the early 1700s.

• On April 21, 1816, Charlotte Bronte, the only one of three novelist Bronte sisters to live past age 31, is born. Charlotte’s two older sisters died of illness while at Clergy Daughter’s School. The grim institution found its way into her masterpiece “Jane Eyre” (1847).

• On April 26, 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan is found molested and murdered in the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked.

Her murder led to one of the most disgraceful episodes of bigotry, injustice and mob violence in American history -- the lynching of her innocent Jewish boss, Leo Frank.

• By the time John was 21, he was already balding. It was 1898 and shampoo didn’t exist.

John was sure his hair loss could be blamed on the poor quality of soaps available. He decided to find a soap that would save his hair. So he got a degree in chemistry and spent ten years experimenting. He found the problem with the soaps people used on their hair was that the pH balance was wrong. By 1930 he introduced pH-balanced shampoos for both oily and dry hair, naming the product after himself. It was America’s first shampoo.

• When customers failed to flock to his product, John hired an artist to create beautiful full-color illustrations of ordinary women with extraordinarily shiny hair, placing the ads prominently in large magazines. It worked.

What’s the name of John’s shampoo?

• On April 22, 1934, George “Baby Face” Nelson kills Special Agent W. Carter Baum during an FBI raid in northern Wisconsin.

The famed gangster was born Lester Gillis but wanted to be known as Big George Nelson.

Unfortunately for him, his youthful looks led everyone to call him “Baby Face.”

• On April 24, 1940, bestselling mystery novelist Sue Grafton, creator of private eye Kinsey Millhone, is born. Starting with “A Is for Alibi” in 1982 and titling each of her books with letters of the alphabet in order, Grafton is currently up to W, for “Wasted.”

• On April 23, 1967, Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov is killed when his parachute lines tangle during his spacecraft’s landing.

Komarov plunged to the ground from 23,000 feet.

• On April 20, 1980, the Castro regime announces that all Cubans wishing to emigrate to the U.S. are free to board boats at the port of Mariel west of Havana, launching the Mariel Boatlift. The first of 125,000 Cuban refugees from Mariel reached Florida the next day.

• Many people powdered their wigs with flour to absorb grease and dirt and make them look cleaner. This led to a shortage of flour in Marie Antoinette’s day, adding to the social unrest and riots that led to the French Revolution. When wig-powdering in England led to a flour shortage in 1795, Parliament decided to tax every citizen who used hair powder. Huge sums were raised before wig-wearing went out of style.

• During a skirmish with the Osage Indians, a commander was stunned and slightly wounded by a blow. He fell from his horse, and an Indian came over. The Indian was fascinated by the commander’s stunning head of white hair, and he grabbed a handful in preparation for scalping the man. The commander leapt to his feet and ran off, leaving the surprised Indian holding a handful of hair. He’d never seen a wig before and was convinced it was a magical scalp because it had fallen off in his hand. The wig became his prized possession and he was henceforward known as Paw-Hu-Scah, meaning “white hair.”

When he became chief, the town that grew up around his settlement was named Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
