Hon. Your Health Affects the Hair

but for the rest of its length it
is a. dense bristle of insensitiye
horn. For all of it's length above
the surface of the skin and for
seven.eighths of it within the
folhcle the hair is without life.
There is no circulation of vital
fluid through it, like sap in a
plant and it does not breathe like
a plant. ....,...s..
Around the base of each hair
there are little glands. or sacs,
which deliver an oil, called sebum,
into the foflicle. This OH keeps
the hair soft and ilustrous and
prevents it from breaking or
cracking. '
The. hair gets its sustenance,
like every structure of the body,
from the blood 1t is influenced
greatly by local disorders, just
as is the skin Of your body in
general.
The functions of the hair are
protection and adornment.
Man, in the sense of men and
women, has largely lost interest
in the hairs useful function of
protection, but as a vanishing
feature Of his personal beauty
1t is one Of his most cherished
possessions. II. ~
