| Jun 26, 2015 at 20:45 | comment | added | Resonating | What kind of answer are you looking for? Hair coverings are affected by follicle structure,and eyelashes and eyebrows and so on are also different. An evolutionary reason why these hairs would be different is one thing, and a complete description of all the weird follicles on your body is another. | |

Also, if you look at hair closely under a microscope, scientists can tell if it is a "head hair" or a "body hair" @WYSIWYG | |

| Jun 26, 2015 at 18:17 | comment | added | SolarLunix | I have previously looked at that post @WYSIWYG, but I don't understand what makes the hair coarse on the body but fine on the head. | |
