As I get older, I find that my hair constantly breaks, leaving wisps and strands that hang down around my face and give a Ma Kettle effect. A. Probably not. First a little background.
Hair is mostly dead tissue.
It starts out as living cells, with all the vitamins and minerals found in other cells. But soon after the shaft emerges from the root, the cells die. However, they don't flake off like dead skin cells. The dead hair cells are held together with a protein called keratin. The vitamins disappear and are not found in dead hair.
