Why does hair in certain parts (nose, ears) become more prominent/longer with age when other hair can recede?

Question

I’m in my late 30s, and I feel like my nose hair has gotten longer and my ears have started having random hairs growing. Maybe they’ve always been there but I feel like I would have been aware of them earlier. I’m fortunate that I still have a full head of hair, but obviously some individuals bald as they get older. Why the different trends?

Answer 1

Testosterone causes body hair to increase and scalp hair to decrease (if genetically prone) The more years of testosterone the more it happens.
