They do not continue to grow after death. The impression that they do comes from the fact that the body shrivels up a bit after death, making the hair and nails appear longer, although they have not grown.
Yes. When you die you hair and finer nails do not continue to grow.
your nails and hair
Your hair and nails don't actually grow it is the skin deteriating
The skin, hair, and nails, which continue to grow after a person is dead for a short period of time.
When you die your hair and nails do not continue to grow. People probably got that impression because the body 'shrivels up' a little after a while which makes the nails and hair appear bigger by comparison.
Anorexics lack the proper vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed for good hair and nails. If they suffer from the illness long enough, their problems can last for the rest of their lives, or they can die.
Hair and nails
No, human nails do not stop growing. Nails continue to grow throughout a person's lifetime, although the rate of growth may slow down with age. Regular nail trimming is necessary to maintain their shape and length.
Ur nails always grow.
you basicaly cant! unless you die your hair blonde and make it grow long! :) x
dehydration of the body after death can cause retraction of the skin around hair and nails, giving the illusion that they have grown. All tissues require energy to sustain their functions, and no such thing is possible once the mechanism that promotes normal growth shuts down at death.
They don't, that's just a myth. After you die, you start to dehydrate, which pulls the skin back away from the fingernails slightly. It looks like the nails are growing, because your nail actually extends back from the cuticle a bit. Between that and the fingertips shriveling, it looks like the nails grew. Same basic thing with hair- the skin on the scalp tightens, and it looks like the hair got longer slightly. But when you die, the cells that actually produce nails and hair die as well- they aren't making anything new. It's just a trick of the whole decomposition process.
