If my hair is too long, will it affect my body s nutrient absorption? Why?

I am a girl who loves to have long flowing hair all year round, and I personally think that long hair will not absorb nutrients, even short hair will not absorb nutrients.

After our hair grows out in the hair follicle, it is "topped" out** and becomes the hair shaft, which is the part of the hair that is exposed on the surface of the scalp. The hair shaft can be thought of as dead keratinocytes that do not have a metabolism of their own and certainly do not consume nutrients.

Only healthy hair follicles need to consume a certain amount of nutrients when they grow hair, while the rest of the hair does not. Regardless of hair length or length, healthy hair follicles grow hair "in regular quantities". Therefore, long and short hair does not increase the nutritional needs of hair growth.

Compared with the nutritional consumption of physical development, brain development, and pregnancy of the fetus, the nutritional needs of hair are only a small part, and they are also a fixed part of the overall nutrition of the body. Even if you don't trim it, a normal person will have about 50-100 hair loss every day, and the number of new hairs every day is about the same as the number of hair loss, which belongs to the normal metabolism of the human body.

If the hair can really absorb nutrients, then we don't need to go to great lengths, just leave the hair long so that it can absorb nutrients, in fact, it has nothing to do with hair length. Hair does not grow endlessly, and there is no essential difference from hair, beard, and hair, and it will experience a lifetime of "hair" from "birth" - rapid growth - stop growing - shedding. It's just that the growth period of hair is relatively long, and in the fast-paced modern society, most people cut their hair early before the hair length reaches the limit, so they mistakenly think that hair growth never stops.

Although hair does not bring a nutritional burden to our body, our hair is a mirror of the body, which can reflect the physical condition to some extent. Hair is closely related to the kidneys, and if there is severe hair loss, or even baldness, the kidney function must be in a state of decline. Therefore, we must pay attention to our physical health in order to have black and shiny hair.

If the hair is too long, it will not affect the absorption of nutrients in the body, because the hair absorbs nutrients through the scalp, and does not absorb nutrients in the human body.

No, the body's nutrients are not distributed to the hair, and there is no nutrition from the body in the hair, it is all the nutrition of the hair itself. So it will not affect the body's absorption of nutrients.

Hair that is too long will affect the absorption of nutrients in the human body, because hair growth also needs nutrients.

No. When a person's hair "breaks out" from the hair follicle, it becomes the hair shaft, the part of the hair that is exposed on the surface of the scalp. The hair shaft is a dead keratinocyte that does not have a metabolism of its own, and certainly does not consume nutrients.

In other words, only healthy hair follicles need to consume a certain amount of nutrients when they grow hair, while the rest of the hair does not. Regardless of whether the hair is long or short, healthy hair follicles will grow hair "on a regular basis".
