Yes and at same time your nail beds. So both at same time. Attend any funeral wake and ask morticians if they have to shave the deceased male’s face and they will say “yes”

If I stay at a friends house I don’t become the house (jus saying but good try).

Well actually I’m sure they say it’s because of all the water being lost and the body actually shrinking or something so it isn’t still growing (what would feed it the nutrients and everything required for growth?).

No the cells are still alive and produce hair and nails.
Look it up.

The person with the gross name is correct. The hair and nails do continue to grow due to the cells still being very much actively alive.
