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?

I vaguely remember high school anatomy class teaching me that some hairs are programmed to grow a bit and then fall out to start over (eyelashes, eyebrows, nose hair, etc.) while some hairs are programmed to grow indefinitely (hair on your head). Sometimes as we age, some hairs decide to switch programs and grow much much longer than they used to.
This might not be 100% correct but I think it’s on the right track.
