Can Pulling Out The Hair Stimulate The Growing Process?

pulling hair
The One asked:


Is it a habit or i am just nervous i sometimes start pulling out my eyebrows or hair on the body. I have noticed that in those regions the hair are a little taller and wider. They also grow to different directions and some of them wry.

Can pulling out hair stimulate their growing process and change their structure?

No, but shaving it would cause it to grow back faster and thicker/darker

no man, it can damage the folicle and may not grow back after constant pulling……pple who get their hair braided or corn-rowed can start to lose their hair from the pulling of the hair.
