I believe the first few cuts of hair make the difference - when I first started shaving my face the hair was the same thickness as all the other areas (ahem) of my body that I didn't shave - now it's dark and course even when left to grow into a beard.

Oh and “one persons terrorist is another persons freedom figheter(sic)” - I'd always assumed that terrorists attacked innocent people whilst freedon fighters attacked the large scale military targets that were threatening them. Next time a 'freedom fighter' decides to blow up a commuter train I'd be inclined to re-classify them as a terrorist!
