I acc thought that was a word till I googled it haha :tongue:

what?

Yes, it is a separate organism that we share a symbiotic relationship with. It photosynthesises when we sunbathe and transfers the sugars to us in exchange for amino acids.

Didn't you cover this in GCSE biology?

Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis, or skin. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. Most common interest in hair is focused on hair growth, hair types and hair care, but hair is also an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably keratin. Attitudes towards different hair, such as hairstyles and hair removal, vary widely across different cultures and historical periods, but it is often used to indicate a person's personal beliefs or social position, such as their age, sex, or religion.^[1]
