(audience laughing) So at the base of your hair follicles, there's a bunch of little cells, and they're constantly
dividing, and as they do, they push the cells higher and higher, and as they get higher and higher, they fill themselves up

and then they dry out, and then they stick together
and they become the hair

So at the base of your hair follicles,
00:00:06.046 --> 00:00:07.246
there's a bunch of little cells,
00:00:07.246 --> 00:00:08.986
and they're constantly
dividing, and as they do,
00:00:08.986 --> 00:00:10.786
they push the cells higher and higher,
00:00:10.786 --> 00:00:12.406
and as they get higher and higher,
00:00:12.406 --> 00:00:14.956
they fill themselves up
with the protein keratin,
00:00:14.956 --> 00:00:16.876
and then as they get even higher,
00:00:16.876 --> 00:00:19.999
they just eject all of their organelles,
00:00:19.999 --> 00:00:21.436
and then their cytoplasm,
and then they dry out,
00:00:21.436 --> 00:00:24.496
and then they stick together
and they become the hair.
