Why do you get small feather like hairs in stretch marks?

The small feather-like hairs that can appear in stretch marks are often due to changes in the skin's structure and texture. When the skin stretches rapidly, as in cases of weight gain or pregnancy, the dermis can become damaged, leading to altered hair follicle function. This can result in fine hairs growing in irregular patterns as the skin attempts to heal. Additionally, hormonal changes during these periods can also influence hair growth in affected areas.
