Hairs Of Different Colors And Thicknesses

[stump]

Hey guys! So I was looking at the hairs on my head today and noticed that even though these hairs are growing in the same area and are the same length, one is blonde and not as thick while the other one is nearly black and also thicker. They both seem to growing well since they are the same length, probably about 8 inches in length. I've been about a NW1.5 for at least two years.

Is it possible that the blonde one is miniaturizing? I thought miniaturized hairs couldn't grow this long? Or could it be that I have two different types of hair gene expression on my head? Others hairs on my body seem to be this way as well, namely facial hair and arm and leg hair. The hair on my head is thick and curly/wavy. Thanks!

The thickness of a hair depend from the number of cells in dermal papilla. Clearly these hairs are diferent.

Same question

What does that mean? Different genes for hair or miniaturization?

My original hair is dark brown. As baldness had progressed, my hair became lighter and lighter. Miniaturizated hair follicles tend to produce pigmentless, lifeless light coloured hair. It is a part of balding.

Yeah I'm aware of that but I thought they don't grow long? My less dark hairs still grow long like my dark ones.

No, genes dont change.

They grow long in the early stages. As miniaturization progresses, they either don't grow long or stay in telogen phase for much longer and look like theres no hair in that follicle. It is definitely possible for a depigmented hair to grow long.

Here's an example: I think this is especially true for dark blond men. I've similar hair characteristics as Prince William and i experienced the same thing over the years. Propecia reversed mine, though.

Pre-Androgenetic Alopecia: Hair is overall the same colour, similar density.

Early Androgenetic Alopecia: Androgen-affected area is substiantially lighter colour compared with sides. This is not because of the sunlight or the angle, He stil had hair and those depigmented hairs were growing longer but not as long as sides and back. Density on top is decreasing as time goes by.

The inevitable:

Jesus christ. Prince william looks awful with a short haircut and advanced balding. He looks mid 40s. Poor man

I'm not saying my genes changes, I'm saying that the individual follicles could be different to begin with. Kinda like people that are dirty blonde. Two hair colors

It is complicated....

Dirty brown hair tends to be the worst. Goes from course colour to a light ratty brown/blonde showing your norwood pattern

Thing is, my body and facial hair varies in color as well. And these lighter hairs are anywhere on my head as well, not just temples/crown and I have a thick head of hair
