Hair

We have hair everywhere whether it's visible to us or not, but why do we have it and how do we have it?
We'll talk about the small stuff first, eyelashes is a must have for girls, we want them longer and darker but why do we even have eyelashes? Or eyebrows? eyelashes protect our eyes and when dirt and dust fly at our faces it the eyelashes tries to absorb it and attempts to prevent it from getting into our eyes. Eyebrows also help and protect our eyes it may not seem needed but without eyebrows, we would have sweat dripping into our eyes all the time but the water is captured and soaked it into our eyebrows when we are in the situation of sweating. Why do we have hair on our heads? But some people go bald and everything is fine so is it even needed? The hair on our heads isn't compulsory but it helps keep our heads warm. I have never thought of this until now but how on earth do we grow hair? Where does it come from? In our head we have to light follicles, at the base of the follicle is the hair bulb where cells multiply, when our hair grows it pushes through the follicle and out of our skin, and our cells die once it bursts through so that's why we feel no pain when our hair is cut. Our hair is shiny thanks to our sebaceous (oil) glands, sometimes it pumps out too much oil and makes our hair look gReAsY. Each hair will eventually fall our every 3 years but will be replaced, on average we have 50-100 hair fall out each day and your hair only grows around half an inch per month. The color of our hair is also more interesting than we think, in our hair, we have something called melanin, the melanin is what changes our hair color.  For example, if you have blonde hair then you have less melanin, if you have darker hair it means you have more melanin. You lose melanin as you age and that's why elder people have gray and white hair.

B & E

Today we have gathered all our ingredients and are going to make our doughnuts after school. We are going to make 4 batches after school at one of our team members house which will make 72 big doughnuts in total. We are going to serve them on serviettes and put melted warm chocolate into a mini plastic shot cup so you can pour delicious chocolate onto your donut.
