Small follicles in epidermis produce hair.All these undergo formatting in a three stage cycle.Anagen is a period when hair grows actively,Catagen is a period when growth rate slows down and finally Telogen is the period of rest at the end of which the hair falls out and new hair starts growing in the follicle.Hairs on the head have the longest anagen period of four to eight years and have two to four months of rest stage allowing the hairs to grow to max.length.Hairs on eyelashes,armpits,pubic region,legs and other parts of body have growth periods of one to six months followed by a two to four months period of rest.That is why these hairs grow faster and reach a stubby fixed length.Animal hair is known as fur and only human hair which mother nature so exquisitely programmed irrespective of gender difference is a hairy (knotty or naughty as you view it)problem and a constant source of worry to retain as wanted and remove as unwanted.

If you are talking about the beard, then its some way controllable and somewhat uncontrollable. At a certain age, you'll generate hormones to grow them, based on your genetic pattern. But, shaving very frequently generally stimulates hair growth.\n\nIf you are talking about the head, don't really know.\n\nIf somewhere else, then ...

They all have limits it's just that some are longer then others and it depends on the person. Some peoples hair will grow longer then others.

Apparently Kelp tablets which you get get from health food stores are meant to help your hair grow, and your nails grow. Also your hair grows more in the summer, just remember to keep it healthy with sun protection in your conditioners!!

Nearly all the skin of the human body except palms of hands and soles of feet is covered with hairs. The density of the hairs (in hair follicles per square centimeter) thickness of the hairs, color of the hairs, speed of hair growth, and qualities such as kinkiness, vary from one part of the body to another, and from one person to another. All of these features have strong genetic determinants, as demonstrated by the heritability of these qualities.\n\nDoctors generally distinguish scalp hair, vellus hair, and androgenic (terminal) hair. \n\nVellus hair is the hair on the rest of the body which has not been stimulated and transformed by sex hormones. Androgenic hair is the hair that greatly increases in heaviness and rate of growth with puberty.

everyone develops differently, just give it time. I did not have hair until I was almost two, and 25 years later I have the fullest hair that I know of. It's all good, just be patient

Grow older.  As a man ages his facial hair growth increases.  But not too old as hair begins to grow thinner again as it begins to grey.\nMassage increases blood supply to the folicles and speeds hair growth, although a face massage is wierd.\n\nShaving does not encorage growth of hair - the reason why there is an old wives tale that it does is that hair grows thicker and darker all the time (until old age) so the new growth appears to be thicker only because it would have been that thick anyway if it had been left alone for the amount of time the hair will need to grow back.

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.

Of course it is. Us women have hair there too but obviously not as much lol.

one reason may be that humans don't go running through the bush as other mammals to. onther reason is in the genes. Some mammals may have genes the control the growth of hair in some species. \n\nBut i like the thought of the first one. if we were having to run and catch our food or we had to sleep on the ground our hair may not be allowed to grow as long.

It is not like that everywhere.It depends on the country you live in. For example here in Greece they prefer blondes because they are rare. If you live in Sweeden where  everyone is blonde they prefer dark-haired ones!!

I have never heard of being able to grow more in inches. You are usually are what you are.  Maybe stretching for good posture can help some.  My mama always said a good hair day can really make the difference. LOL good luck on the growing quest.

Usually, if you have problems with your hair it is because of bad use of cosmetic products or a vitamin currency or an iron currency.\nSTOP growing, really stop growing, could be the precursor of a serious disease but I don't think that this happens. \nTry to adopt a healthy way of eating and go to the drugstore in order to take a pharmacist's opinion about a good food supplement and maybe an essential oil that will help the situation hydrating the scalp.\n\nKaterina

Body hair is governed by your genes. There are things you can do to remove it, or to lighten it, but you cannot do anything about its growth rate. There are some products out in the market that is suppose to retard hair growth, but I don't know how effective they are.

The hair follicles on our head are different in structure from those that produce body hair. The length of body hair is determined by our genes (some folks are shaggier than others) but will never get as long as the hair grows on your head.\n\nWhen a hair follicle enters a new growth period, it starts to secrete the proteins that make up a hair shaft. The new hair grows out from the root plexus of the follicle until it pushes the old hair out, and then continues growing for a genetically determined amount of time. For body hair, it tends to grow for only 3-6 months and it grows at a slower rate. Then the follicle goes into a dormant stage again. Hair on the head grows at a fairly constant rate year round, and the hair shafts are generally thicker and stronger. Areas like the armpit, pubic area, and men's beards tend to be somewhere in between, as they do grow at a constant rate and can get fairly long if not trimmed.
