Except for the soles of the feet, humans have it too but only the head is the part where it constantly grows. As people grow older these filaments will no long grow and Los Angeles natural hair growth can help in making them grow again.

Individuals have differing attitudes when it comes to the threadlike strands growing on the head. It used to be that culture played a great influence on it but with the removal of barriers and the application of the internet technology. The ways in which these are treated has diminished the influenced of customs and tradition. Even gender which clearly defined male from female is no longer that important.
