Hairiness
Each person has about 2 million hairs and only about 100,000 of these are on the scalp. We have hairs over our entire body, except the lips, soles of the feet and palms of the hands. In the UK, £25 million is spent every year on hair-removing products
Women
- 25% of normal middle-aged women have unwanted
facial hair
- After the menopause, the face
becomes hairier, while the rest of the body’s
hair is slowly lost
- 10% of 65-year-old women have noticeable chin
hair
Men
- Research among medical students in the USA found
that 45% of male medical students were very hairy,
compared with 10% of the general population
- In Kerala, in southern India, research among medical
and engineering students and manual labourers found
that the students had more body hair than the labourers;
the top six in the class of engineering students
were far hairier than the bottom eight
- A study of 117 male members of the brainy
society Mensa (you have to have an IQ of over 140 to
join) showed that Mensa members had a tendency to thicker
body hair – and
the most intelligent had hair on their backs as well
as on their chests
