…producing more testosterone! 😮

Hair growth on unusual places like ears, nose, or eyebrows often happens as people age, especially in men. Here’s why:

• Hormonal changes: Higher levels of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) can stimulate hair follicles in places they didn’t before.

• Aging factor: As men get older, tiny hairs in the ears and nose can become thicker and more noticeable.

• Genetics: Some people are just more prone to it.

So, ear hair isn’t just a random quirk — it’s your body’s way of responding to hormones over time.

If you want, I can also explain why nose and eyebrow hairs do the same thing as men age.

🍎🥦 Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad

For the dressing:

• ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

• 1–2 tbsp honey

• Salt and pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

This salad balances sweet, tangy, and crunchy textures—it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

If you want, I can also give a make-ahead version that stays fresh for a couple of days.
