Is it possible for hair to grow in different cycles for life

making it look terrible and less normal or does it all catch up?

For example, can different parts of the hair grow in different stages from each other (not coincide with other parts of that persons hair) making it look not like it should?

A person without male pattern baldness seems to have hair that all grows nsync with each other and it looks decent. Can someone who has male pattern baldness and messes around with it using treatments, (starting and stopping minoxidil for example) mess up the growth cycle, resulting in it all growing at different stages and thus making it look as bad as it does.

If this is the case and I'm not talking rubbish, does it someday catch up with each other or will it never all grow together again?

I don’t quite understand it. Even the charts of the hair growth cycle don’t answer the questions in English.

A typical person without male pattern baldness loses about 50-100 hairs a day, but at the same time they have 50-100 hairs that were dormant begin growing again so everything stays in balance. I am guessing you know what happens to people with male pattern baldness so I won't go into that.

To answer your question Minoxidil, I believe, is the only one of the treatments that will mess with the cycle of your hair because of the way it works. Minoxidil encourages or shocks follicles into a growth phase, unlike Propecia which encourages regrowth on the normal hair cycle. This is why it takes longer to see results with Propecia than Minoxidil because the follicle goes into its normal resting phase on Propecia, which lasts for a few months.
