    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.

      For the record I put some vaseline hand cream on spod the other day and I make him use Sephora Face Moisturiser, well.... I nag him and he sometimes does use it - although I see he left it at home this week

        Is it that hairs appear thicker once cut/regrown, as the ends have been blunted?
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            If that were true, bald men would shave their heads.

              But bald = no hair, whether thick, thin, sharp or blunt. Nowt to shave.

                It's a myth, shaved hairs will just look darker when they grow back as they will not have been sun bleached.

                  Nose hairs get thicker and denser due to air pollution.
                  Plucking/trimming them might give a positive feedback to the nose, encouraging it to grow more hairs

                    Bald men have hair but follicular miniaturization may have progressed to the point of peach fuzz and beyond.

                    I've just found out why men wear pony tails. It's to hide a bald patch. Eww.
