An observation Ive made over years of watching my hair growth over my entire body... stimulation of the root of the hair seems to encourage growth. The areas of my face that I touch the most, such as my hands on the chin when in thought is where dark hair developed first, and where it grows the fastest. I cut my hair very short every week, but rub it all day long and it grows at about 1/8" to 1/4" a week, but it didnt always. When it gets longer I tend to leave it alone more and it slows down. Also, girls that brush their hair and play with it all day long seem to have faster hair growth on average, basing that on the hundreds of conversations Ive had with different females on the subject.

Im no expert on the subject, but it makes sense to me. If the hair follicle is simply taking dead skin cells, protein and I think some cutein(?) and compressing them together... if you are playing with it all the time it would be slightly pulling it farther out by just a fraction. It would make sense for the human body to compensate by filling in that open space with more dead skin cells. The body certainly produces enough dead skin cells to triple hair growth.

Like I said, I am in NO way an expert on the matter obviously, for those members who are more educated on the subject and feel the need to remind me that I have no formal education in the matter and they do so dont go around trying to play doctor (although I do love playing doctor.. ). Its just a supposition that I have been contemplating for a while and am now recording it in an online forum for criticism and thoughts. Soo.... criticisms and thoughts?? Lol just kidding back to the hair extensions.. I wanna see the new pics too! Ive always wondered how extensions worked.. if you could hear some of the elaborate methods my clueless imagination has conjured, you would laugh your asses off.
