yes they do in fact! As incredible as it sounds, scientists have confirmed that the skins retain an original hormone, often for a decade or more, causing follicles to “live” long after the animal has been skinned. Scientists call it otiose and it is hoped it can be put to use in medical research for baldness!
"The hats are extremely expensive to initially procure,” explained Major Arthur Ursa. “And it’s a little-known fact that the hair on bearskin keeps growing and needs to be regularly trimmed–a tedious, time-consuming, and difficult process.”

∙ 14y agoNo, bearskin hats do not grow because the animal from which they came, is dead & the hair shaft is also dead. However, a hat may stretch after extended use, I suppose, but that has nothing to do with the actual hair growing.

Mostly tradition. They serve no purpose today other than being used for ceremonial dress. They were however used in the 1800s as a practical piece of head protection as they protected the wearer from lance and saber blows from cavelry. The British Army didn't officially start using full bearskin hats until after the Napoleonic War. The hats were looted off dead French Imperial Guardsmen and kept as trophies. The British Army started outfitting only their elite troops with bearskin hats because taller hats made troops look taller and more intimidating on the battlefield. Today the hats are only used as a ceremonial headpiece for the Household Guards.
