Hair
People have a lot of hair.
The average human head has around 100 thousand hairs.
Hair doesn't seem to grow very fast though. Head hair grows on average half an inch per month.
But that builds up. Half an inch per month, twelve months a year, 100 thousand hairs per head.
Every year, the average human head grows almost ten miles of hair.
That means in an average life time, a person will grow well over 600 miles of it.
If you laid it out and started walking, it would take 8 and a half days of non stop walking to get to the other end.

Now that would be a hairy situation! <.<
O_o good info on hair, such a weird piece of our body.
Now that is truly an amazing set of figures. 600 miles is astounding lol.
That's a lot of hair.
//Cheer§
Good numbers even for the strawberry blondes.
"Every year, the average human head grows almost ten miles of hair."
My mind has been blown!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the interesting post!
8 and a half days? Challenge accepted.
Just calculated. Assuming all my hair is 4 inches long, I have about 6.3 miles of hair on my head.
image you could build a bridge to the moon with all that hair!
That's an awful lot of hair, now. o_o
Wow!
I think my hair grows faster than most peoples ;_;
600 miles of hair would be disgusting, but i'd still like to see it
awesome. i'm pretty sure i don't have the average human head though. i have SO MUCH hair and they grow so fucking fast D:
I have heard that we humans have the same number of hairs on our body as chimpanzees, theirs is just coarser
My hair seems to grow much faster than that!
This is crazy, newfound respect for hair.
Interesting!
intredasting, i learned this forensics years ago
Wow...ten miles of hair a year? My hair seems to grow much slower than the average person. I wish it would get longer faster!
Damn, think if someone never actually cut their hair.
what about the hair that grows on my back, feet, inside my nose, ears, where the light of day has never reached
what about all that hair?
I have hair down to my ass right now and it actually lets me build up a LOT of static in cold weather. I can literally touch people and see blue sparks.
i'm shaving my head.
that's a lot of hair. you can probably cut those numbers in 1/3 for my dad, lol
:O
so in my office 5/7 man are bold so i have 500.000 hairs?
8 Days... well that is quite a Distance. Ten Miles of hear per Year??? FUUUUU
i wonder how many hair my cat has... since everyday i have to clean like few thousends but still she aint bald!
i swear my hair grows like 1 cm a week
wow, didn't know that
As always, some very interesting figures there :) a lot nicer than what I am about to face in exams!
wow, nice, I knew I had lost a lot of them, but it surprised me
:O
So much stuff goes into hair growing.. heh. :)
Thats a lot of hair!
Wow ten miles of hair in a year. I never imagined it would be anything like that. What an incredible stat.
How old would you have to be to wrap your hair around the world?
Wow that's pretty crazy.
Wow. That is a lot of hair.
Thats interesting:)
Interesting stuff
Wow, crazy facts!
That is ridiculous. I just donated all my hair to charity though so I won't be walking 600 miles on it any time soon.
i believe i have less than average
Dang that's a lot of hair. Also, I don't know why, but I find that kind of gross.
Not enough! I want more hair!!
The numbers you get are from a blogroll, you're on mine and people click on the link.
10 miles a year?! Damn, thats A LOT of hair cuts :)
Crazy stuff right there man!
Thats a crazy amount of walking!
I wonder how fast I'd have to walk.
holy hair! xD
That's crazy!!
great post, thank you for sharing
does hair grow slower when it's long or is it the same pace?
We need to donate some of that hair :D
does this count pubes
How to Hack Life.
Wow haha
I'll never think about hair the same way again. haha
I like the way you explained it :)
i think i don't even have half as much as that..
I need some of that hair you speak of, bald guy here
holy cow! guess thats one more thing to be happy about if bald
cool to know, all of these facts are so interesting yet so unnecessary, love it!
thats some guko level 3000 shit
Hmm..my hair grows way faster than half a inch per month. probably more like a inch per month for me, so double the hair!
(also i think your math is off, i couldn't walk 600 miles in 8 days)
