How much time after your death does your hair and nails continue to grow<'''?

Answer 1

Actually, they don't continue to grow. Instead, the skin dries out and shrinks away from the hair follicles and nail beds. More area is exposed so it seems like growth is still taking place but it is not.

Answer 2

This is actually a myth. When a person dies, their body starts to dehydrate and the cuticles recede, giving the illusion that the nails have grown longer. Neither hair nor nails grow after death.

Answer 3

Hair & nails do not grow after death. In order to do that, they would need the nourishment they get from your bloodstream, in other words your circulatory system. Since everything like that stops when you die, there is no nourishment there. What sometimes makes them look longer is because in death, tissues start to shrink. as they do, things like nails, hair & teeth seem longer. Sure hope this makes sense to you because it is true.

Answer 4
