Correct Transcript:

Hair has always been an important sign of beauty. This is especially true for women. Next to the face, hair is one of the main qualities people look for when they consider a women's beauty. Whether long or short, curly or straight, hair often gets a lot of attention. People who have it value it. Those of us who do not, often mourn its loss. Each hair on a person's head grows from a single tube-like hole in the skin called a follicle. People are born with all of the hair follicles they are ever going to have. The average person has about 100,000 hair follicles. They begin to form on a fetus around the third month of pregnancy.
