Hair and Headwear
This entry covers both the biological component of hair and the various accessories and coverings used upon it, encompassing cultural, functional, and aesthetic aspects.
Hair
Material: Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a fibrous structural protein, also found in skin and nails. Its structure includes three layers: the cuticle (outer protective layer), the cortex (main body containing pigment and strength), and the medulla (central core, not always present).
Purpose: Biologically, hair provides insulation, protection from UV radiation, and sensory input. Culturally, hair holds significant symbolic meaning relating to identity, status, religion, and aesthetics.
Function: Hair growth cycles naturally through phases of growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and rest (telogen). Hair texture (straight, wavy, curly, kinky) is determined by the shape of the hair follicle and the distribution of keratin.
Usage Scenarios: Hair is subject to various treatments including cutting, coloring, perming, straightening, and styling for cosmetic purposes. It's also subject to natural variations based on genetics, diet, and health. Hair analysis can be used for forensic and medical purposes.
Common Types (based on growth location): * Scalp Hair: The hair growing from the scalp, subject to the most styling and cultural practices. * Facial Hair: Hair growing on the face (beard, mustache, sideburns). * Body Hair: Hair growing on other parts of the body. * Pubic Hair: Hair growing in the pubic region.
