TIDBITS® CONSIDERS by Janet Spencer On April 12, 1799, the world’s first combcutting machine, designed to turn ivory into combs, was patented by Phineas Pratt. Come along with Tidbits as we comb our hair! • 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)

• 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 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 thin and short. (cont’d next page) In the 1950's only seven percent of American women dyed their hair; today there are parts of Manhattan and Los Angeles where there are no gray-haired women at all. --Nora Ephron, American Novelist

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle

The Roller Coaster of Loss I’ve heard it said that when you lose a parent you lose your history, when you lose a spouse or sibling you lose your present, and when you lose a child you lose your future. The pain of losing someone you love or care deeply about is extremely difficult to navigate. I often think of the grieving process as a roller coaster. The grind of the uphill climb takes you up and over into an uncontrollable decent downward. Then comes the whip-lashing curves that toss you from side to side only to make the grinding climb again. Each day is filled with the emotions of climbing and falling with all the twists and turns of surviving one day at a time. The only thing that keeps us from falling all the way out is a seat belt and safety bar. The seat-belt and safety bar must be fastened and secured for us to survive. The fiber of the seat-belt and the composition of the bar that holds us together is made up of the things that we can’t see because the things we see will fade away but the things we can’t see will last forever. That’s why we never give up. Allow faith to begin to fill the empty cave of your being. Hold onto its handle bar and fasten its belt around your waist as you begin the uphill grind of facing the roller coaster one second, one minute, one hour, and one day at a time.

• 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 long. • 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.

Every American uses almost 200 pounds (90 kg) of plastic in a year, 60 pounds (27kg) of it for packaging. Americans use 4 million plastic bottles every hour yet only 1 bottle out of 4 is recycled. According to Dr. Jack Milgram, a plastics analyst, “Recycling plastics saves twice as much energy as burning them.”

• 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— Two barbers she?” locatedad across the street from this or doesn’t campaign.

• haircuts.” 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. EGLOIBSMLDOAL • In 1956, 40% of barbershop customers were asking for the flattop crew cut. The official term for the habit of pulling out hair. 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 1.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* “If you have a poster that has been rolled up and you want to hang it, try rolling it the opposite way and leaving it overnight. When you unroll it, there will be fewer bumps, and the edges won’t curl so much.” -- R.L. in Idaho * The best way to quickly chill canned and bottled drinks is in a mix of ice and water. This works because ice water makes complete contact with the surface of a can or bottle, while ice alone makes only partial contact. To make your ice last longer and stay colder, pour salt on the ice/water mixture.

* “After too many mornings of rushing to find uniform pieces before a game, we decided to get smart. Now, sports uniforms get hung up with all accessories in the coat closet right after washing. They’re ready as soon as it’s game time -- no looking under beds or in the back of overstuffed teenager closets!” -- P.P. in Texas

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 fullcolor illustrations of ordinary women with extraordinarily shiny hair, placing the ads 4/12/1934 Windin gust of 231mph (371 km/hr) meaprominently large magazines.
