Your hair grows about ½ inch per month and will grow faster in the summer than in the winter time. About 50 hairs per day will fall out and after about 3 months a new hair will grow from that same hair follicle. No hair will last more than about 6 months. Most people have about 100,000 hairs growing on their head.

(edited - bored and "GOOGLE"ing about )

 

the girl cutting it will probably fuck my shit up

edit: i will be displeased

 

Every two thousand frowns creates one wrinkle. :o
