This is a question alot of people are wondering the answer is NO.Hair growth has nothing to do with genetics but texture yes can be. But even then its the way your follicles are shaped if there oval you may have thicker and curlier hair.

So if you are wanting to grow your hair long take care of yourself and eat right.

Your hair never stops growing even when you die.

If it was genetic noone would have hair because hair would stop growing when you cut your hair off.

So for those who are wondering the only thing that may be genetic would be color and possibly texture and how fast it grows.

But your hair never stops growing unless you have poor health.

Hope this answers your question!

Hair that grows back after it was cut, shaved or removed by a hair-removing cream is not thicker or darker than it was before it was removed. Removing hair, by any method, does not effect the part of the hair shaft below the skin surface, which is where growth and pigmentation occur. The color, location, thickness and length of hair on your body mainly depend on genetics and hormones. Mayo best-mens-skin-care.com
