It's a myth that cutting hairs makes then stronger and or thicker. Hairs don't have nerves and are in fact are dead beyond the skin, and they don't sprout branches when pruned because they aren't bushes. Each one of them does have a pair of muscles though, which I find interesting.

Is it that hairs appear thicker once cut/regrown, as the ends have been blunted?Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostIt's a myth that cutting hairs makes then stronger and or thicker.

Plucking/trimming them might give a positive feedback to the nose, encouraging it to grow more hairsCoffee's for closersComment

I've just found out why men wear pony tails. It's to hide a bald patch. Eww.Last edited by TimberWolf; 15 December 2010, 10:54.Comment
