Why do some hairs on your body grow differently? For example, the hair on your head and face can keep growing but your eye brows will stop at a certain point, if you were to shave it. Also, why are pubes coarse?

The hairs on your eyebrows don’t stop growing. They’re always growing. It’s just that the tips of them eventually wear out and break off so they never get longer than a certain length.

The different hairs on your body grow at different speed and have different durability. How long they can get before the tips to break off varies by location
