ABOUT HAIR

The number of hairs an individual has is already determined at birth. In boys, beard and other body hair becomes thicker during puberty because of male hormones. New hair is not created, rather hormones simply change the hair's texture. Individual hairs fall out after growing for 3-5 years, and in that spot, new hair grows after 3 months. Hair, therefore, continually repeats the cycle of growth-regression-relaxation.
