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

361 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?

As people age, their body’s hormone levels change. Some hormones can make hair in the nose and ears grow more, while others can cause hair on the head to recede. It’s just the way our bodies respond to these hormonal shifts as we get older.
