Aging, Hormones, and Hair Growth

This chapter explores the paradox of increased hair growth in areas like the nose and ears as men age, alongside the more commonly discussed issue of hair loss. It examines hormonal changes, particularly the effects of sex hormones, genetic factors, and environmental influences on hair follicles in both men and women. The discussion also delves into the psychological impacts of hair loss and the evolving societal perceptions of baldness throughout history.
