Why No Pain When Cutting Hair & Nails? The Science Behind Dead Cells Revealed!
- •Hair and nails are composed of 'dead cells', unlike other living parts of the body.
- •These dead cells lack blood flow and nerves, which are essential for transmitting pain sensations to the brain.
- •Both hair and nails are primarily made of a tough, non-living protein called 'Keratin'.
- •Pain occurs when hair is plucked or a nail is pulled from its root because these parts are connected to living cells and nerves in the skin.
- •Nature's design allows us to painlessly trim these protective body parts, simplifying daily life.
