Which of the following does NOT promote hypertrichosis?

Clipping
Hormonal treatments
Medications
Genetic factors

The correct answer is: Clipping

Clipping does not promote hypertrichosis because it simply involves trimming or shortening hair without affecting hair growth or density in the long term. This method does not stimulate the hair follicles or alter the underlying biological processes that lead to increased hair growth. Hormonal treatments, medications, and genetic factors, on the other hand, can significantly influence hair growth. Hormonal treatments can lead to changes in hormone levels that may stimulate hair follicles and result in increased hair growth. Certain medications may also have side effects that promote hypertrichosis, affecting hair growth patterns. Additionally, genetic factors are foundational in determining hair characteristics, including density and growth patterns, potentially leading to hypertrichosis in some individuals.
