Does your leg hair grow when you get goosebumps?
Yes, your leg hair can appear to grow when you get goosebumps because the muscles surrounding the hair follicles contract, causing the hair to stand up and appear longer.
Do goose bumps make your hair grow?
No, goosebumps do not make your hair grow. Goosebumps are a natural response of the body's fight-or-flight system, causing small muscles at the base of hair follicles to contract and create the appearance of raised bumps on the skin. This response does not affect hair growth.

Do goosebumps make your leg hair grow back faster?
I don't usually post answers on these things, but I'm getting tired of hearing my girlfriends tell me that their hair grows faster when they get goosebumps, so I figure I'll just clear this up once and for all. No, goosebumps do not make hair grow faster. It is a myth that has been fabricated and spread around by women (and some men) who feel that their skin is prickly when they get goosebumps even if it was perfectly smooth just moments before. So, lets think about this logically and scientifically. Every hair in our bodies is rooted at the base of a hair follicle, which is located just under the surface of the skin. When we shave, what we are doing is trimming, or shaving the hair that is just above the skin. Goosebumps occur when the hair follicles contract and squeeze together causing the base of the follicle to be pushing up, and along with it, the unshaven hair that was sitting under the skin just a second ago, but is now pushed above the skin, giving us that prickly feeling. The important part to remember in all this is that once the goosebumps go away, the contracted follicles that are pushing the hair up relax, bringing the hair back down under the skin, because the hair is, of course still attached to the base of the follicle! And so was abolished the goosebump/ fast hair growing myth☺
Where can you not get goosebumps on your body?
Goosebumps can generally occur on any part of the body where hair follicles are present. However, areas with fewer hair follicles, such as the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet, may be less likely to develop goosebumps.
Why do you get goosebumps when your scared?
When you are scared, your body releases adrenaline, which triggers the arrector pili muscles to contract. These muscles are connected to hair follicles, causing the hair to stand on end and giving you goosebumps. This is a natural response that evolved to make you look bigger and more intimidating to potential threats.
