Basically, it doesn't.
But as a dead body begins to dry out, the skin and tissues shrink, making a little bit more of the hair visible, possibly giving the appearence of a little further growth.
If you were to measure from the bone instead of from the skin surface, there wouldn't be any growth.
It doesnt, the skin shrinks on the fingers and head. It creates an illusion that looks like they got longer.
This is a common misconception. The hair does not grow after death. The skin shrinks due to the loss of moisture, so the hair appears to grow.
it does grow.
Normally yes, but if you happen to be dead at the time of the trimming of the hair then as long as you're dead, your hair will not grow back.
It doesn't necessarily grow faster, but it does grow healthier. Instead of growing dead ends, its grow stronger hair.
No. Nor does it grow when you are dead, although this has long been a myth; that hair continues to grow after death when really, it is merely the skin and flesh that is shrinking creating the illusion of hair growth.When a hair dies, it usually falls out.
no but it stays intact.
nails and hair!
the hair on your head will still grow, but the hair you cut off from your head will not. Hair is just dead skin cells, so when it isn't attached to something feeding it more cells, it will not grow
Yes, white hair is hair that has lost its pigment and is no longer producing melanin, but it is not necessarily dead. The hair follicle is still alive and can continue to grow white hair.
Sorry, but you just can't make your hair grow faster. Hair is made up of dead cells.
No. Old fable that hair and nails keep growing, They don't.
Gray hair is not dead hair. It is hair that has lost its pigment, resulting in a gray or white color. The hair follicle is still alive and continues to grow, but with less pigment production.
No , Your systems stop working when you die . your hair or beard may seem to grow after death, but that is because of shrinkage of the skin.
