Why doesn't your underarm hair keep on growing down to your feet and beyond?

Question

If your head hair keeps growing and you have to cut it regularly then how come that our underarm hair doesn't act the same way.

Answer 1

eww. I guess for the same reason nose hair stops after it peaks out of the nose. and ear hair too

Answer 2

pubic hair the same way. but why is the nose hair grow so wild?

the general answer is we come from a past where our bodies were once covered with hair to protect us from the elements.
as evolution evolved over eons of years we now at the point where we have less and less hair. thus we have the standard comb-over for some men..these men have just evolved ahead of slower men and women. Soon we will all look like ET as hair and nails are just protein anyway. Look at the old Egyptians and you will see they were just copying their visitors from a more advanced civilization. Thus the pyramids..Enough said

Answer 3

It does, at least mine does if I don't cut it every several month or so. Maybe its because I used to shave there for muscle bound competition. I'm sure that I'm not the only one either! It groes as fast as my head hair if not slightly faster. Hopefully this helps!

Answer 4

No chest, leg & under arm hair will only get so long. It's not like your scalp hair that does keep growing. I don't know why, that's just the way it is. Hope this helps U.

Answer 5
