by Janet Spencer On April 12, 1799, the world’s first comb-cutting machine, designed to turn ivory into combs, was patented by Phineas Pratt. Come along with Tidbits as we comb our hair! HAIR FACTS • Hair is mostly made up of a protein called keratin, the same substance that forms the outer layer of skin and the fingernails. In animals, horns, hooves, claws, feathers, beaks, porcupine quills, and whale baleen are all also made of keratin. • Hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body, and bone marrow comes in second. • Hair grows faster during warm weather than cold, faster during sleep, and fastest between the ages of 16 to 24. • How many hair follicles are there on an average adult? 5 million. 100,000 are on the scalp. There are some 580 hairs per square inch on a man’s face. You shed scalp hairs at the rate of 70-100 per day. • Hair never grows on the lips, palms, and soles. These are the only areas on the body with no hair follicles. • Combing is less detrimental than brushing. • It’s impossible to repair a split end, aside from cutting the hair. (cont’d next page)

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Wife Binges on Diet Soda --DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife drinks in excess of 3 liters of diet soda a day, sometimes even more. She has colitis, for which she takes Lialda, and on her last visit to her primary care physician, her blood work revealed borderline bad levels in her liver. The doctor seems to think she needs to stop “drinking alcohol,” but I have been married to her for more than 30 years, and I know it’s not drinking that is causing this. We both consume only moderate amounts of alcohol. Could it be the chemicals in diet soda? -- F.J.R. ANSWER: Three liters a day is a lot of diet soda, and that much caffeine probably isn’t good for her. However, I don’t think it is likely to be affecting her liver. Mesalamine (Lialda and others) rarely can cause abnormal liver tests -- specifically, high levels of the same enzymes that might lead a doctor to suspect alcohol use. You didn’t tell me what kind of colitis your wife has, but ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, is associated with several kinds of liver problems, including fatty liver and primary sclerosing cholangitis, which is potentially severe. I don’t think either alcohol or diet soda should be blamed until she has had a more careful workup. I think a visit with her gastroenterologist would be wise. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have read that one or two cups of coffee is good for your brain. Which is better: coffee or tea? Is it the caffeine that prevents dementia? -- M.E. ANSWER: First of all, the data on this subject is preliminary. That being said, there is data that suggests that people who drink two or three cups of coffee a day have a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers have speculated, and some studies done on lab rats support that it’s the caffeine, and since regular coffee has much more caffeine than tea, coffee would be easier. However, there have been other studies suggesting that substances in tea besides caffeine may reduce Alzheimer’s risk as well. I’m not recommending either coffee or tea based on this research. This data shows an association but doesn’t prove that coffee reduces Alzheimer’s risk. But if it’s your habit to drink a few cups of coffee, or a few pots of tea a day, it may reduce risk of dementia. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: You had an article from a man that said he had his prostate removed and was wondering about taking testosterone. You said he would likely have an increased risk of prostate cancer recurrence. I, too, have had my prostate removed and was wondering how you could have an increased risk of prostate cancer after having the prostate removed. Could you explain? -- C.G. ANSWER: Even the best surgery can leave some prostate tissue in place. It’s also possible that some tumor cells spread before surgery. Any residual cancer can be stimulated, in theory, by taking testosterone. Fortunately, the available evidence so far suggests that this risk may be much lower than feared. Careful follow-up remains essential. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

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. • 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. • 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. Humans and chimpanzees have the same number of follicles as well, but chimpanzees have thick hair while human body hair is short. (cont’d next page)

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.
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. BARBER BITS • 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!

For Advertising Call (307) 655-5095 WIGS • In ancient Rome, vain women had marble statues made of their heads. Many wealthy women also equipped their statues with removable marble wigs, so they could be changed to match the hairstyles. • Queen Elizabeth I of England suffered from smallpox at the age of 29. She survived the illness, but her hair did not and she was bald from then on. To hide the condition, she began to wear ornate and elaborate wigs. As a result, wigs became all the rage across England and Europe, a fashion that lasted for centuries. • King Louis XIV employed 40 wigmakers and needed an entire corridor to hold all his wigs. His personal barber was the only human being ever allowed to see him bald. • 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. • In 1765, men in London began to give up their wigs in favor of natural hair. This worried wigmakers, who staged a demonstration by marching through the streets to the palace. They presented a petition to King George, asking him to force all adult males to wear wigs by royal edict. An opposing group staged a counter-demonstration in which they pretended to represent the wooden leg-makers. They petitioned the king to have a leg removed in order to promote their trade. The King got the point and denied both petitions.

Dog Might Not Need Cataract Surgery --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 13-year-old miniature poodle, “Dany,” has the beginnings of cataracts. I don’t want to put her through surgery. Are there drops or vitamins I can use instead? -- Mick, via email DEAR MICK: You’ll need to consult Dany’s veterinarian. However, if the vet will only consider surgery, you can get a second opinion. Find out if a veterinary ophthalmologist is available in your area. This specialist can evaluate Dany’s condition, confirm whether it is cataracts (there is at least one other condition that might be mistaken for cataracts) and recommend the next course of treatment. According to Animal Eye Care, small cataracts can be somewhat common in older dogs. They may not interfere with vision at all, and no medical treatment may be needed. While cataracts can’t be reversed, you can make it more difficult for them to grow. The most important thing is to make sure Dany stays healthy. Senior-dog illnesses, especially diabetes, can affect her eyes and increase the risk of cataracts. So keep up with scheduled checkups, and make sure she eats a proper diet. If she’s on medication, make sure she takes it. Nutritional supplements that contain antioxidants reputedly help slow cataract development, and in fact, at least one eye-specific supplement, Ocu-Glo, is available by prescription from the vet. Avoid using supplements developed for humans, as other ingredients in them may not be good for dogs. Also, be wary of products that claim to reverse cataracts: Only surgery can get rid of them. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
HAIRY INVENTORS: QUIZ • 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? (Answer at top of next page) HAIRY INVENTOR #2: QUIZ • 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. Answer: Gillette invented disposable razors. • In 1931 Jacob introduced a smaller one-handed 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. (Answer at bottom of page) HAIRY INVENTOR #3: QUIZ • 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. • Alas, the shampoo did not keep John’s hair from falling out, but he became a very rich bald man. In recent times, commercials for John’s shampoo launched the careers of famous models, including Brooke Shields, Kim Basinger, Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, and Cybill Shepherd. What’s the name of John’s shampoo? (answer below) Answer: Schick invented electric razors. Answer: Breck invented shampoo.

WIGS (cont’d) • In 1766 an observer wrote, “’Tis almost impossible to make the ladies understand that heads bigger than one’s body are ugly.” • 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-HuScah, meaning “white hair.” When he became chief, the town that grew up around his settlement was named Pawhuska, Oklahoma. • A wigmaker in Sydney, Australia branched into a new area: providing false hairpieces for the chest of men who are “bald” on their chest. He reportedly made a model that would even stay on in the water. • In Rome, there were few natural blondes, so the government declared that blonde hair would henceforth be known as a badge of sin. Wicked ladies were licensed, taxed, and required to dye their hair blonde or wear yellow wigs. Today, we still feel that blonds “have more fun.” —Joke— • William Rose Benét was looking through the window of a wig shop. Two identical toupees were displayed on wig stands. “They’re as alike as toupees in a pod,” said Benét to his companion.
