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

365 views

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?

Male pattern baldness is caused by a combination of testosterone (or really testosterone precursor hormones) Wich is toxic to hair follicle cells, combined with poor circulation that develops in many people as they age, stopping repair cells from traveling to effected areas.

That’s why alcohol use/nicotine use causes baldness, because they’re both vasoconstrictors that stop blood flow.
