Why does pubic hair grow back?

Question

When you shave pubic hair why does it grow back as it stops at a certain length and does not grow any further, so how does it know to grow just because you have shaved it all off?

Answer 1

Because the hair follicle is still there. If you killed the hair follicle, the hair would stop growing back. =)

Answer 2

The follicles are still alive. Once the hair grows out of the follicle, it is already dead tissue. This is why you can't get DNA from hair unless you have its root. It breaks off after a while and new hair grows. Next time you shower or bathe, look in the water and you'll see the hair that has broken off. Laser treatments will kill the follicle so the hair will never grow back.

Answer 3

Probably so that salons and the waxing business makes money!!!!

Yes, pubic grooming is becoming popular. I'm sure in the future more people will freak out seeing bushy jungles rather than a "clean slate". too bad it's kinda the opposite right now!!!!

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

It's like a weed. You may pull the top off but unless you get the root out it will sprout again.

Electrolysis is the only way to remove it permanently.

Answer 5

Dunno. have you got a lot off pubic hair..only joking Ive shaved as well and I dont think it grows back as long. but thats just what I think maybe your different?

Answer 6

b/c the hair follicle is not dead. just like hair on your head, it keeps growing unless you get laser work done
