Hair

Straight or curly, blond, black, ginger, or brown …we’ve all got hair! And in this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby will show you exactly how it grows. You’ll discover why all mammals have hair, or fur of some kind, and how humans lost most of theirs through evolution. Learn what the three kinds of human hair are; what a follicle is; and how the hairs you see on your head and skin actually grow! You’ll also find out how your genes determine the shape and colour of your hair and how puberty can bring about some serious hair-related changes. Whether you’ve got dreadlocks or a crew cut, this is the movie for you!
