Question 1

should i be concerned if i have too many hairs growing on my body?

Accepted Answer

No: That is fine as long as it is not causing any skin condition. The amount of hair is related to genetics and, less so, nutrition.

Question 2

how does hair grow?

Accepted Answer

Hair growth: Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Each phase has specific characteristics that determine the length of the hair. All three phases occur simultaneously; one strand of hair may be in the anagen phase, while another is in the telogen phase.

Question 7

my hair is thining, are there any steps to grow it back?

Accepted Answer

Thinning hair: First step is to make sure there is not a medical cause or vitamin deficiency for your thinning hair.  Next I would recommend the use of minoxidil twice a day.  You could also add propecia (finasteride) if not contraindicated.  Minoxidil must be used twice a day and if you stop the hair growth reverses.
