As in, zero nose or ear hair. Partly because despite my name, I'm female, and we women rarely get nose or ear hair.

The up side to my hair not growing, aside from saving money on haircuts, is that I am happy with the current length and cut.

But it seems weird. I am in a senior living center these days, and at dinner tonight I brought up the subject of hair, and all my companions still have normally growing hair.

You must be a male. For the most part, we women don't grow eyebrows in old age. If anything, they turn gray and hairs PoindexterOglethorpe Oct 15 #8
