True or False

"For every hair you pluck, two will replace it".

So why then do my eyebrows look so sparse now

Re: True or False

False I think we have a certain number of hair follicles and they only produce one hair at a time or none at all in some instances.

Mine is the opposite......reason being, I suppose, is that back in the 70's I'd burnt my legs in the sun whilst holidaying in Greece.....ever since then, no hairs have grown on the bottom of my legs.

Re: True or False

I haven't needed to pluck my eyebrows since the change of life; nor shave my legs. But I regret that my eyelashes now grow in much shorter.....

Re: True or False

I would say its true, at least in my case. I dont know about Women but most men when they get on in life grow a lot of unwanted nasal hair, in my case I used to pluck it out with a tweezers but then it became so strong I have to use a pointed nose pliers!, and yet it still grows back. In the 1990's I had my legs waxed for a charity event in the local pub and the hair on my legs never grew back, now if only I could figure out a way to wax the insides of my nose I'd be a happier Man.
