A Moment of Science
Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair! How is the hair on your head able to grow much longer than other hair?
Do you notice the hairs in the bathtub or on your comb? Relax, you should not worry!
If you find hairs in the bathtub after a shower or you find hairs stuck in your comb, don’t worry; you’re not necessarily going bald. And yet if you kept track of all the hairs you found over a period of a few years, it would seem that what’s left on top must be getting thinner.
Ironically, the general covering of our bodies in hair — what we call “fur” on other animals — is at the root of our problem with acne.
As in electrolysis, that is–the hair removal process involving mild doses of electrical current used to kill hair follicles.
