Alpo Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Does the hair at the top of your head grow as fast as the hair at the bottom of your head? That is, does the hair on your scalp grow as fast as your beard? Just watching a season 12 NCIS episode. Fornell has shaved his head. And he is clean shaven. Gibbs takes him off to his cabin in the woods to dry him out, because Fornell has been pouring down the booze ever since Diane got shot. So Gibbs takes him out in the woods on day one, keeps him out in the woods all day long of day two, and we see him in the night of day two. He's got two days of scruffy growth on his face. And his head is as smooth as a billiard ball. Possible? Or television show screw up? If head hair grows at the same speed as face hair, and he has a face full of stubble then he should also have a head full of stubble. And while I know how fast face hair grows, having never shaved my head I don't know how fast that comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I’m not sure of the growth rate of your hair, but my son, Hatfield, can shave his head in the morning and the next morning you can’t see his scalp. He got that mop from his mom!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I knew a Lt in Vietnam who would have a full beard in three days if he didn’t shave. If his head hair had grown as fast he would have looked like Fabio when he came off patrol. So based strictly on anecdotal evidence, I would opine that facial hair grows faster than brain covering hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head shaved as clean as a billiard ball. This is season 18 - 6 years later. While it is true there don't seem to be a whole lot on the top, there is a lot of hair on the sides.

Not my troop, but still a scoutmaster. He forgot to pack his razor when he went to summer camp one year. At the end of that week he had a full beard. That was impressive to that 16 year old boy I used to be that was attempting to grow a beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 A guy that worked for me would come to work clean shaven, at the end of the day he had decent growth that from any distance looked like a black beard. Over a couple days, it was a full fledged beard. Would take me a few weeks to grow up hat much beard and my left side grows faster than I the right!

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Worked with a guy who brought an electric razor to work and shaved at lunch break. If he didn't, he would have a quarter inch beard by end of day. He was bald on top by the time he was 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Nixon shaved five times a day. That’s why his caricatures always had a five o’clock shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 During my recent incarceration I didn't shave my sideburns for nine days and came away with a really good looking set. Not huge like Burnside's, more like the TV guy who was billed as the most fascinating man in the world or some such nonsense. They get better looking as the days go by. I think I'll keep them, but the rest is due to be mowed this week.....sometime.....maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Went to college with a guy with facial hair so thick, if he didn't shave every other day, his electric razor was useless. It would just bog down. He'd then have to revert to a razor blade. Also I worked with a guy whose wife always said to him "You ain't bald honey, you just got some extra face".
