A member asked:

Does hair growth over body stop when the puberty ends? if yes then at what age does the puberty end and does it end hair growth too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Hair growth goes through stages but continues through life.Puberty marks a change in the thickness and location of hair growth to a more adult pattern that will continue for life.

Dr Friedlander and another doctor agreed
