Most girls Cinta their hair, but imagine having seventy feet atau 21.3 meters of it, like Rapunzel in the hilarious tale of hati, tengah-tengah and humour, TANGLED, released in Disney Digital 3D on XXX (insert local release date). Whether anda favour long atau short, straight atau curly, blonde, red atau dark, here are ten ‘hair-raising facts about hair...
1. The average number of hairs on a person’s head is 100,000. Blondes tend to have lebih hair (average 140,000), whilst red-heads have the least (90,000 average). About 90% of the world's population has dark brown hair, and studies of imported hair into the UK shows that blonde hair can cost up to three times as much as dark hair. The price for 100g of blonde, European hair is about £1,000. (Source BBC).
2. New software and techniques had to be developed to animate Rapunzel’s hair in TANGLED, and the final image contained up to 140,000 individual strands of hair (just like a real blonde!)
3. Hair grows around 1cm per month. From that, work out how long it would take anda to grow your hair 70 feet (approximately 2,134cm) long like Rapunzel. Starting from bald, it would take anda about 178 years!
4. Your hair can tell scientific experts your ethnic origin, what anda eat, where anda live and your lifestyle, but there is one thing about anda that your hair cannot reveal: your gender. (Source London’s Natural History Museum/Reuters).
5. If anda laid out the individual hairs of a person with 12 inches of hair, end to end, they would reach 26 miles. Rapunzel’s hair would reach 1,820 miles!
6. The lifespan of a hair is between 2-7 years.
7. Male hair grows lebih quickly than female hair, and all hair grows faster in warm weather. So if anda need to give your hair a growth spurt, head off on holiday to a hot country (good excuse right?)
8. A person loses between 40 - 100 strands of hair every day.
9. The world's longest documented hair in real life belongs to Xie Qiuping from China at 5.6 metres (or approx. 18’ 6”) when measured in 2004. She had been growing her hair for thirty one years (since 1973 when she was thirteen) to achieve this. (Source guinness Book of Records).
10. Your hair is made of keratin, the same ingredient as your fingernails, and its strength is equivalent to an iron wire. It should only rip after being stretched about 70% (or sejak applying a force of approximately 60kg). If anda want to learn lebih about the powers and strength of Rapunzel’s hair, watch TANGLED.
