I often read that the rate of shedding is related to the severity of androgenic alopecia.
However, the only problem with this theory is that my hairline is thinning at a fast rate.... yet I'm not shedding that much at all. I get out of the shower and run my hands through my hair, maybe get 10-20 hairs if I really work at it. Hell, if i tug at the front hairs, none come out (this isn't something I routinely do...). Yet the hairs are still becoming finer and finer. I have fairly long hair for a male (it's about 5-6 inches long right now), so you'd think that any loose hairs I have would stay with my hair. I don't play with it, and I don't see any signs of hairs falling around me.
So, does the shedding really have any correlation with the pattern thinning of the hair?
