FAQ about hairs

What factors influence hair density?

Genetics, hormones such as testosterone, and age play a key role in hair density.

What is the life cycle of a hair?

The life cycle of a hair consists of three stages: a growth phase (anagen), a stagnation phase (catagen), and a shedding phase (telogen).

At what rate does hair regrow?

This depends on the area where the hairs are located. Beard hairs have a lifespan of about 5 months, whereas leg hairs last between 18 and 24 months.

Does hair become thicker after shaving?

No, this is a common misconception. The hairs merely appear thicker because their ends are cut at a right angle.

Are there areas of the body that are completely hairless?

Yes, certain areas of the human body are naturally devoid of hair, such as the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, or the lips.
