This is a question I've had in my mind which prompted me to do a little research. I've learned that there are a couple of hair types (not meaning straight vs curly):
Terminal hair: thick, long (and usually darker)and grows on the top of the head.
Vellus: short, fine, light colored hairs which cover most of the body (peach fuzz, if you will).
Lanugo: fetal hair which we'll exclude from my question(I remember this from science classes in the past).

Now, I need to mention that the hairs on my legs seem like the terminal hairs that grow on my head (as I mentioned in another forum, I'd be half Wookie if I didn't shave my legs). However, I have considered that vellus hairs grow faster than terminal hair. Do the hairs on your legs grow faster than those on your head? The underarm, groin, and leg area seem to grow at the speed of a thunderbolt or is this just because we constantly shave?

(sorry if this question has been posed before)
