Funny hair puns are the ideal solution to cut through boredom.

Long hair jokes, short hair jokes, bad hair jokes, wig puns... We've got something to keep everyone entertained in this amazing collection of hair puns!

Hair is a fascinating part of the human body: next to bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body.

It can grow between 0.3 and 0.5mm per day on average, which is about six inches a year! Hair can grow anywhere on the body except for the palms of your hands, the soles of your feet, and on lips and mucous membranes.

Your hair is actually flexible: when it is wet, it can stretch out up to a third of its length and increase its diameter by up to 20%!

The average person has between 100,000 and 150,000 strands of hair on their scalp, so don't worry too much about losing a few strands. When a hair falls out, it most often re-grows; it can do so up to 20 times in a lifetime.

Hair is mostly made of keratin, which is also found on our skin and nails. Hair follicles start growing when we are only five months old, inside our mother's womb!

When you are cold or scared, you can sometimes get goosebumps which is due to individual hair follicles contracting. You can find out a lot of information about someone just from analysing their hair: it's often used by forensic scientists to learn things about a person's bloodstream like what medicine, vitamins or other substances they consume.

Over the years, people have gotten really creative with haircuts and hairstyles. Some of the most famous hair styles include a fringe or bangs, a neat bob, or a pixie cut for shorter hair.

If you have hair that reaches to your shoulders or longer, you might experiment and put it up in a bun, ponytail, plait or braid.

People with very thick curly hair can style their hair into beautiful braids or let it grow.

There are much wilder hair styles out there that some people love: a mullet, a mohican or a quiff are just a few examples. Haircuts can go wrong, resulting in some of the funniest haircuts out there; we wouldn't want to be in your shoes if this happens to you!

Black is the most common hair color around the world, while red hair is only present in about 1% of the world's population and blonde hair in 2% of the population.

Dyeing hair is not a new concept, but modern hair dye has also come a long way since its origins - in Ancient Rome women used to dye their hair blonde with pigeon poo!

Even if you are having a bad hair day or you've spotted a split end, this collection of hair puns is the best solution to get you to love your hair again!
