Regarding pulling of hair. Not so hard obviously, but like in the case where someone's combing his long curly hair with a narrow comb.
Does this force cause some level of follicle miniaturizing i.e. alopecia, or is it supposed to do the opposite, "stimulate" the follicle and make it grow thicker hair? I've been hearing both answers over the years.
I'm asking since I like to comb my temples a lot, but since my temples are longer than most of my other hair (to make it not look like I receded) it is thus curlier since the longer my hair is, the curlier it gets, and this is when it's hard to comb it.
If it is causing the temples to get thinner, then I make think twice about doing it, though if it's supposed to do the opposite, all the better.
