It is generally well accepted fact that the hair shaft is dead matter apart from the roots.
I have developed doubts on this because my male pattern baldness hair grows relatively fast initially after shaving the head and then slows down as it lengthens, finally grinding to a halt at around #4-6 mark.
So I started thinking about it and realised that people who lose, say eyebrows in fire grow it back quickly but it only grows to a certain length. Same with eyelashes and other body hair.
Thus I believe there is a feedback going in telling the follicles the length of hair. This applies to body hair and weak scalp hair.
Please comment. Have you guys noticed that the growth is quicker when hair is cut short and slower when it is longer? I am looking to find more as that will play a big role in how we manage our male pattern baldness and appearance.
