There is no limit, if you don't suffere from male pattern baldness your hair will keep growing when yanked out and stay thick. Thats why you see women who wax their eyebrow have to do it often because the hair regrows and grows.

Yeah pull out a hair on your chest or arm or something. It just regrows. Its amazing how strong hair on say your chest is to pull out but how easy it is to pull out head hair.

yeah, I wish the hair on my head was as strong as the hair on my legs. I heard if you have toe hair that means you have high dht, same for those with thick ear and nose hairs.

I used to have hair on my toes during my late teen years but lost it around 2009 and now.

huh? how old are you and are you taking Finasteride?

Stray hairs are actually supposed to be more prevalent as you age. Like thick ear hairs, longer nose hairs, toe hairs etc.

I'm 29, they were very tick like my chest hair, I'm glad they're gone, I had a few hairs on my feet too, I think socks and shoes must have asphyxiated the pores and the hairs couldn't come out so they just died. It's very smooth, I don't think I even have vellus hairs there anymore.

wow so they just disappeared? Maybe you wear shoes and socks a lot and it probably ripped them out? But usually if you wear socks and shoes a lot it will just cause them to be ingrown.

Are you on finasteride?

If you compared women to men I think its a pretty safe bet the hair we men get but women dont is probably pretty dependent on androgens to grow.

Not on finasteride or anything. Hairs on my ankles were gone a long time ago so I never thought it was anything special but maybe there's some problem that I need to check with a blood test.
