nov, on May 18th, 2008 Said:

no, fingernails and hair do not grow after death. research it. they appear to grow because the skin around your nails and on your head shrinks somewhat after you die.

Gadsby is the longest book never to use the letter E
Mat, on August 22nd, 2008 Said:

“Fingernails and hair grow after death.” = FALSE

(Thank you nov at least one person knew what they were talking about.)

The human body begins to dehydrate after a person dies. Because the skin is so dry, it “pulls away from nails and hair.” This makes it appear as though the nails and hair are growing, but in fact the body itself is shrinking.
alexxxx, on September 16th, 2008 Said:

Corey, on March 18th, 2009 Said:

Hair and fingernails do NOT grow after death, the retraction of your skin makes them seem longer. Scientific fact. Eat it.
charlie, on March 19th, 2009 Said:

Ok for those of you who keep arguing about the hair and fingernails thing I hope this helps, if it doesn’t you should stop wasting your time on the internet and go do something useful with your life…( i should do that same) anyway here it goes.. Hair and fingernails aren’t actually growing. Dead is dead. The only things growing after you’re dead are worms, bacteria, and flowers. What is happening, however, is that the skin around the hair and fingernails will desiccate (i.e., lose water) and thereby shrink. When the skin shrinks, it retracts, making hair and fingernails look longer, as if they’d grown.
mingoo, on March 22nd, 2009 Said:

wow u guys are fighting about this???

well kaitlyn if you can give me a call haha jk
Jeremy, on May 18th, 2009 Said:

Fingernails and hair don’t continue to grow after you die. It appears that they do, but that is because your skin shrinks when it looses the water that is in it. However, when you die it isn’t like you body just completely shuts down instantly. The brain keeps a small electrical charge for several months after you die.
Haha =), on May 21st, 2009 Said:

Haha! What’s making me laugh even more than the actual fight is that people are still commenting/ trying to explain it. We get it. Like 10 people explained that they don’t really grow.
Lets all calm down now =).

Anyway, nice facts =D

hair and fingernails do not grow after deah, although they appear to, this is due to shrinking back of skin
Kiera, on March 31st, 2010 Said:

Em I thought your hair and fingernails grow and then die once they leave the body. . . so they aren’t actually growing while they’re dead are they?
Annie, on April 4th, 2010 Said:

You’re fingernails and toenails only grow for like 3 months afterwards! They don’t grow forever!

Krystle, on May 26th, 2010 Said:

actually fingernails and hair do not grow after death, they only appear longer because your skin is shrinking and shribbling making everything seem like its growing but in reality it is the same size just your skin is different. (: i’m a smart coookie.

oh and a couple more…
raw eggs help your hair and give it nice shine
mud and some clay soften your face
keeping your feet clean and wearing socks and or shoes all the time keeps your feet healthier
(a beliefe..works for me) cutting or trimming your hair on a full or growing moon makes your hair grow healthy and faster and if you cut it on a srinking moon makes it grow back just as health but slower
=) peace

Meh, on August 2nd, 2010 Said:

the nails and hair appear to grow after death because the body gets smaller due to dehydration -GOOGLE IT-
Brea :}, on August 3rd, 2010 Said:

Well, people,i mean seriously. I think majority of people now know that your hair and nails only APPEAR to grow, but they really don’t. So, if i were all you, i would stop bringing it up, because it’s really annoying to read the same thing over and over again. But, i still find the whole argument entertaining. :} Have a nice day people. <3

Megan, on August 11th, 2010 Said:

I think we need one more person with their infinite wisdom of cutting and pasting from the same website to FINALLY confirm that hair and fingernails don’t continue to grow postmortem. The previous 52,000 comments haven’t been enough clearly. LMAO!!!

P.S. My co-workers are wondering why I’m laughing so hard. Now I’m one of the dumb **** participating on this useless feed. haha
