How come the more you pluck hairs, more come back, become longer, and darker?

when you shave your hairs the reason they come back darker and thicker is that, the part that wasn't cut will begin to grow and since it is already thick at the base it will grow up and look thicker than the previous hair. reason y it is longer i don't really remember but i heard that the more you shave the faster it grows back and longer it become.

FRICTION .... causes a Polarized( + or - ) energy buildup .... which is released in the form of lighting....\n\nAs when you bush your hair and the hair is attracted to the Brush....  it's the same thing.. ONLY millions of times stronger...

You can pluck out gray hair.  I heard coloring your hair (any color hair dye) can also cause it to turn gray, so stay away from hair dyes.

different melanin level in our skin... darker skin has higher melanin level and vice versa..

shaving and cutting causes them to grow back thicker and darker, with a prickly feeling after just a few days.\n\ni am an advocate fo waxing and after consistently waxing my genital region (front and back - ouch!) for the past 4 years, i have noticed that they are very light, thin and soft now. The results of waxing last a few weeks too\n\nso i would suggest to u and ur friend that u understand that there is no real way of stopping hair growth totally, but u should start waxing regularly so that the hairs dont give u no trouble!

I do not know the answer to your question.  But I was very much like what you are now.  I would of paid loads to get my hair back.\nBut let me assure you it's not all that bad.  Some years later I now love it.  I have now got to the stage where 'curtains' is all that's left.\nI promise you that just keep it neat tidy or even shave the whole lot off.  You WILL get to like it and the women LOVE it.

for that particular problem i suggest lazer hair removal for that area. the reason that the area is darker is because the hair right underneath the skin. but other than that use can use a loofah sponge to lighten your skin tone and use sunblock and stay out of the sun.

Because as we age our bodies process the nutrients necessary for growing healthy nails changes.  I don't have a reason why they get thicker, but the change in growth speed has to do with how our bodies process its nutrients.

No, you're hair isn't growing, but it is pulling away from the follicle, putting more of the hair on the outside making it seem as if your hair grew.

You have two different types of bodily hair.  One is called terminal and the other is called vellus.  Terminal hair is the longer growing hair that is on your head, legs and things like that.  So, to answer why do they keep growing it is bc of the type of hair it is.  The vellus hair doesn't know how long it is....it only grows to a certain length according to your own body type.  I hope this helped a little bit

A few hairs are common. You can pluck them off if you want, but it would be more cosmetic and wouldnt harm anything. It might sting a bit when you pluck, but other than that... no problems. Its up to you what you want to do...

Because your hair grows faster when you cut it.

nothing to worry about. there can be reasons like heredity, but not really due to stress and all that other bs. your hair loses the pigment and turns lighter. mine is turning really white and started when i was about your age!  i love color. highlighting masks it better.

I like to change my hair color every year or so. Right now I'm dark brunette because I like the sexy/serious tone it has.  You know, business-fabulous. Variety is sexy.  Getting stuck in a rut is what makes a person un-sexy.

Some chemo drugs change the body chemistry and therefore changes molecular cell structures that are in the hair shafts.  I had chemo 12 years ago.  Before my hair had a slight wave.  After wards I looked like Little Orphan Annie. Mine came back darker.  Now after all these years, it's relaxed some and now I can blow it straight or wear it with tons of tight waves so I have the best of both worlds!  Good luck to your wife.

The root of every strand of hair is surrounded by a tube of tissue under the skin that is called the hair follicle (say: fah-lih-kul). Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells. These pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin (say: meh-luh-nin) that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between. \n\nMelanin is the same stuff that makes our skin's color fair or darker. It also helps determine whether a person will burn or tan in the sun. The dark or light color of someone's hair depends on how much melanin each hair contains.\n\nAs we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray. \n\nPeople can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age - as early as when they are in high school or college - whereas others may be in their 30s or 40s before they see that first gray hair. How early we get gray hair is determined by our genes. This means that most of us will start having gray hairs around the same age that our parents or grandparents first did. \n\nGray hair is more noticeable in people with darker hair because it stands out, but people with naturally lighter hair are just as likely to go gray. From the time a person notices a few gray hairs, it may take more than 10 years for all of that person's hair to turn gray. \n\nSome people think that a big shock or trauma can turn a person's hair white or gray overnight, but scientists don't really believe that this happens. Just in case, try not to freak out your parents too much. You don't want to be blamed for any of their gray hairs!
