My Aunt's chin? In general, I don't know.

I think eyebrows grow the fastest. At least mine do. I have to pluck them everyday.

I heard for men it is facial hair.

I believe it all grows at about the same rate. However, things which are kept trimmed are going to appear to grow faster since it is constantly being cut or otherwise removed. It does not grow faster, but you notice its growth because something that was not there and then appears is going to seem obvious.

But how does a hair know how long it is? Why does it reach a certain length and stop growing? Just think if the hair on your arms grew like the hair on your head. We would all be like Wookies. Damn dirty hairy Wookies!

It is programmed in the DNA. It is not unlike the way cells know to be bone cells, or brain cells, or how your mouth knows to produce saliva.

I thought beards are the fastest location and blonde is the fastest color.
