Why do some women have exuberant body hair while others are 'bald'? After reading it, I have gained knowledge

Studies have shown that humans have evolved from apes for a long time, so why do apes have a lot of hair and we have very little hair? In fact, after a long period of evolution, the hair has adapted to some environments, thus changing, and gradually degenerating into hair on the surface of the skin.

In the hot summer, many beauty-loving women will wear some miniskirts and suspenders to show their proud skin. But some women are also very worried, because the hair is stronger, leading to a gradual development of inferiority complex. So, why do some women have strong body hair while others have strong body hair? "Bare" let's take a look together below.

About Body Hair

What is Body Hair?

Body hair, collectively referred to as body hair, mainly includes hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, nose hair, beard, leg hair, hand hair, armpit hair, etc. The growth of body hair has certain benefits to the human body and usually does not need to be removed. It consists mostly of stacks of keratin scales, and some creatures change their body hair with the seasons.

Mobs have different body hairs. Even within the same species, body hair varies in color and growth rate. Some biological hairs have different functions, such as warmth retention, detection, indirect contact triggers, and camouflage.

hair growth cycle

The growth cycle of hair is about one month, but the hair growth cycle of different parts is also different. The hair cycle may be about a month, but the hair cycle of the hair may be about half a year or a year, the hair loss.

But more nutrients can also prolong or delay the hair cycle. Take good scalp care in general, if you take hormone drugs or food regularly, it may cause hair cycle disorder. After the hair grows for a period of time, the phenomenon of hair loss will appear, and generally no treatment is required, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Why do some women have exuberant body hair? After watching "Bare" increase knowledge

1. Endocrine disorders

Endocrine disorders will affect the secretion of hormones in the body, and also lead to abnormal secretion of androgen, resulting in excessive body hair.

The situation just requires developing a good attitude, staying calm, returning to a normal life and resting. Usually to ensure sleep, avoid staying up late, so as to effectively improve body hair.

2. Long-term use of certain drugs

Because the body has some disease, so you have to take medicine that contains more hormones. If women take such drugs for a long time, the secretion of hormones in the body will become abnormal, the secretion of male hormones will become more, and the body hair will gradually become heavier and heavier.

Not only drugs, but also cosmetics and skin care products commonly used by women, some of which have added hormones, and accidental use can also increase body hair. Therefore, women should learn more before buying cosmetics and skin care products and use them as little as possible.

3. Strong hormone secretion

Hormone levels in the body affect body hair growth, especially androgens. If the content and ratio are particularly high, the body hair will be vigorous. Excessive body hair in women can also occur when the pituitary gland is impaired.

Since the secretion of androgen in the body is regulated by the brain, when the secretion of hormones in the body is excessive, the brain will negatively regulate the secretion of hormones. When the secretion of hormones in the body is low, the brain will actively regulate the secretion of hormones to keep the hormones in the blood at a certain level to maintain the state of the body.

4. Genetic factors

The reason why most women have exuberant body hair is also related to genetic factors in the body. If the direct relatives have vigorous body hair, the genetic probability will be higher, which is also a dominant gene. To put it simply, if the parents have strong body hair, the probability of the child having strong body hair will be greater.

Under the influence of hormones in the body, androgens are more sensitive to stimulating hair growth, and this phenomenon occurs even if the hormone levels in the body are normal, which is also normal.

5. Frequent shaving

Frequent shaving of body hair will not cause more hair growth, because shaving body hair will not increase hair follicles, so more hair growth will not appear.

But if you shave too much, it can stimulate the hair follicles and accelerate the growth of body hair. If the body hair is thick, it may affect the appearance of the skin, and it is recommended to take corresponding measures to remove the body hair.

6. Disease factors

The most common cause in women is polycystic ovary syndrome, which is characterized by hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries, and abnormal ovulation, that is, abnormal menstruation.

At the same time, other diseases such as ovarian tumors or congenital adrenal hyperplasia, as well as hyperprolactinemia, can also cause hyperandrogenism, which can easily cause abnormal hair growth in women.

Extension: Do you know that there are these misunderstandings in removing body hair?

1. Removes stubborn hair buried in pores

It is absolutely not feasible to forcibly remove deeply buried and difficult-to-remove hair. Because the cuticle is very thick in some parts, the root of the hair is buried deep in the skin.

Once pulled out forcibly, it will destroy the epidermis and dermis of the skin at the same time, making your hair follicles inflamed and red and swollen. The correct way is to use some exfoliating skin care products to take care of the skin regularly, and then remove these hairs after they grow out of the body surface.

2. Laser can permanently remove hair

Currently, laser or bright light therapy devices have the function of permanent hair removal, but not most people think that hair will not grow back after treatment. The permanent understanding here should be that after laser treatment, the hair will not grow back during the hair growth cycle.

3. Sweating will be affected after hair removal

Human skin sweats mainly through sweat glands. Sweat glands, like hair follicles, belong to the accessory organs of the skin, and the two do not affect each other.

Laser hair removal is mainly aimed at the melanin in the hair follicles. There is no melanin in the sweat glands, so it will not damage the sweat glands, so it will not affect the sweating of the human body.

4. Remove hair after bathing, it will be cleaner

Hair grows on and just below the surface of the skin, and many people mistakenly believe that by opening the pores with hot air, you can shave more hair and get a cleaner shave. In fact, the hair under the skin's surface is under the skin's surface anyway and won't scratch because the pores are open.

5. Hair removal can cure body odor

Hair removal should not remove body odor, hair removal can only achieve the purpose of beauty. Body odor is strongly related to the secretion of sweat glands. After bacterial decomposition, unsaturated fatty acids and ammonia will be produced, so there will be an unusually unpleasant smell.

If you want to completely remove body odor, you usually need to remove the apocrine glands that secrete vigorously. Simple hair removal has no inhibitory effect on body odor.
