It's on our body and it keeps us warm, do we really need to know more than this? By your score, it seems you don't really think so. That's fine, perhaps it's not something that interests you. But if you want to learn more about it, read our answers!
Very Good!
You know quite a lot about the human hair and its conditions, which is more than most people do. You'd make a good hairdresser (at least in theory) and you probably take good care of your own hair, OR you've learned from your own mistakes...
Extraordinary!
You know all there is to know about hair! They wrote the musical about you! You're quite the hair expert and you are keenly aware of how much of it we have, how to preserve it and how to lose it. You probably take very good care of your own hair, and that's a smart thing to do.
