Title: Does water exposure make hair grow faster?
Post by: Heather on 11/09/2008 09:55:48
Heather asked the Naked Scientists:

I recently discovered your podcast (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) and am trying to catch up and listen to all
of the previous downloads!

Why is it that our fingernails and toenails grow more quickly when we spend a lot of time in water?  Does this same tendency apply to hair as well? I have never noticed that it does.

What do you think?
