For most men, the beard hairs are a lot more coarse than head hairs. As we age, our beards often become even more coarse. Thus, the hair from your granddaughter is likely to be too fine to be an accurate predictor of shave ready for your beard. Perhaps, the hair extension you purchased is coarser so it works better.

I do not do the HHT, but do an AHT. My arm hairs seem to be thicker than my head hair. However, even at that I need to get an edge sharp enough to pop arm hair about 1/2" above skin level in order to get a great shave. That is why everyone needs to calibrate their test method for their own beard.
