Hair

Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis, or skin. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. Most common interest in hair is focused on hair growth, hair types and hair care, but hair is also an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably keratin. Attitudes towards hair, such as hairstyles and hair removal, vary widely across different cultures and historical periods, but it is often used to indicate a person's personal beliefs or social position, such as their age, gender, or religion.

Overview

The word "hair" usually refers to two distinct structures:

  • the part beneath the skin, called the hair follicle, or, when pulled from the skin, the bulb. This organ is located in the dermis and maintains stem cells, which not only re-grow the hair after it falls out, but also are recruited to regrow skin after a wound.

    Dear John, I'm sorry I can't do this anymore
    You're not the man I fell in love with
    And I have to move on with my life, goodbye
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cool
    You were the one who'd never leave
    Beautiful eyes, you seemed so free
    Touching your face I felt complete
    Holding your hand my heart would weep
    So everything that came out of your mouth was full of lies
    You looked me right dead in the eyes
    You'd call your girlfriends and tell them that I abused your trust
    You did your best to demonize
    You were the one who'd never leave
    Beautiful eyes, you seemed so free
    Touching your face I felt complete
    Holding your hand my heart would weep
    You were the one who raped my soul
    Beautiful lies, you stole my hope
    Touching your ass, I scratch the skin
    Holding your neck, I tie the rope
    (Pulling it tight)
    You were the one who'd never leave
    Beautiful eyes, you seemed so free
    Touching your face I felt complete
    Holding your hand my heart would weep
    You were the one, the one for me
    Now that you're gone it's hard to see
    So much of me has gone away
    There's no need to stay another day
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
