is it true the slimmer u r, the more hair u grow/???????

Answer 1

I never heard of that!

Answer 2

No, it's not true. This may come from the fact that some anorexics do grow more hair than normal people, but this is lanugo - your body doesn't have the calories available to provide heat, so you grow more hair in an attempt to insulate yourself.

Answer 3

I've never heard that but I really don't think so. Hair genes & fat cells are two different things. As a young lady, I weighed right at 100lbs. had tons of hair. Now I'm an old lady & overweight & still have thick hair. Maybe someon else can answer you better.

Answer 4

That is true. Anorexics grow thick patches of hair on the bodies, that is the body's natural defense, it is trying to keep itself warm.

If you are a healthy slim and you have meat on your bones, don't worry about it, but if you get too slim, then you should be worrying.

Answer 5

ppl that are thin due to anorexia may grow extra body hair (its a body defense to keep warm) but I've never heard that being a response to being thin in general.

Answer 6

I don't think so. My sister and i are both slim and she has really thin, short hair but I have long, thick hair. So I think is based more on your genes.

Answer 7

umm, im a size 9.....my hair grows like an inch every month and its as thick as ever.
so to answer your question, no.
its all in your genes or how you treat your hair.

Answer 8

no that's not true. Im pretty slim and my hair doesn't grow hardly at all

Answer 9

because hair growth has to do with dead cells (what your hair is) and weight deals with diet and exercise. It's VERY unlikely they have any thing to do with each other.

Answer 10

Just look at Ron Jeremy?

Answer 11

for guys, yeah. Guys have less testosterone the bigger they get..

Only fat chicks grow more hair as well because they have more testosterone then
