concern
to provoke anxiety in anyone when it starts thinning, falling, or
disappearing. To a woman, the sight of a comb or brush covered with
lost
hair can cause intense mental strain. Hair is formed in minute pockets
in
the skill called follicles. An upgrowth at the base of the follicle,
called
the papilla, actually produces hair when a special group of cells turn
amino
acids into keratin, a type of protein of which hair is made. The rate
of
production of these protein 'building blocks' determines hair growth.
The
average growth rate is about 1.2 cm per month, growing fastest on
women
between fifteen to thirty years of age.

pores
with the collected dirt; and heredity.

essential nutrients. It has been found that a diet which contains
liberal
quantities of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables and fruits would provide
adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients. Each food group
