The Beauty Brains knows hairs
I am a faithful reader of the best chemists (beauty wise) available to our known Internet universe. In case you haven't noticed The Beauty Brains have moved to their own little place, leaving Blogger be, because of all the traffic they were getting.

But they still do their job, answering our questions. This week one of the most interesting ones was: Why doesn't our armpit and leg hair grow as long as our scalp hair?

Beauty Brains answer:
"Vellus on the other hand are short hairs (a millimeter or less) they are very fine, and they have a very short life cycle, which means they spend most of the time in the Telogen phase. That also means they'll never grow as long as scalp hair. These very fine hairs are found on "hairless" parts of the body like arms and legs. (Ok, those areas aren't hairless, but they kind of look hairless because the hairs are so tiny and fine.)"

Another mystery solved, don't you agree? I bet you asked yourself this a couple of times. And, by the way, you can't make your 'vellus' hairs stronger, bigger, longer or more visible by removing it, so don't be a stranger to my hair removing section!
