The Secret Life of Hair

When you think of your hair, you probably think of the hair on your head. But there’s hair on almost every part of your body. (Places that don’t have hair include the lips, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet.)

Depending on where it is, hair has different jobs. The hair on your head keeps your head warm and provides a little cushioning for your skull. Eyelashes protect your eyes by decreasing the amount of light and dust that goes into them, and eyebrows protect your eyes from sweat dripping down from your forehead.

A lot of things to learn about hair!
