Does hair just migrate down the body as you get older?

Light hearted musings on a rainy bank holiday weekend.

In my youth I had bushy caterpillar eyebrows, I had to pluck them in the centre to avoid a monobrow. As I’ve got older, they have faded to almost non existent thin lines. My chin and upper lip meanwhile are happily sprouting horrible thick dark hairs which I have to hunt down with tweezers in my magnifying mirror.
DH when I met him 30 years ago had a full head of hair and a teeny triangle of chest hair. He is now completely bald on top and has a rug on both his chest and back.

well I don't think mine does, more gets lost as I now have pubes on my face but less where they should actually be. And random ones down the back of my legs to my knees.

I am losing hair on my head too, both mum and grandma were balding on top

The inescapable force of gravity.

Well my hair on my head has certainly become thinner as I have gotten older but my chin hairs grow at an alarming rate, also still got hairy legs.

Oh I wish my pubes would thin out! (Although maybe not to relocate on my face)

Chin hairs are so annoying, sneaky little bastards
